Tories pledge
total ban on
trade in ivory
■ Conservative spokesman
conﬁrms manifesto commitment
after ATG challenge
Ivan Macquisten
reports
THE Conservative Party
Manifesto pledges to “press
for a total ban on ivory sales”
despite recent assurances
from the Government that
they would not damage the
legitimate antiques trade.
The statement on page 55 of the
manifesto contradicts promises given last
autumn that while the Government would
do all it could to protect endangered
species by tackling poaching, it would
not seek to put an end to the trade in
antique items containing ivory. Under
CITES (Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species) rules, the
trade in worked ivory dating to before
1947 is legal. However, after ATG
approached Conservative Central Ofﬁce
for clariﬁcation, a spokesman conﬁrmed
that the policy would now be to achieve a
total ban.
“In pressing for a total ban on ivory
sales we will work with our international
partners and interested parties at home
to see how best to achieve this and over
what time frame,” said the spokesman.
“We recognise the importance of the
UK art and antiques trade and will be
discussing this issue with them in more
detail.”
British Art Market Federation (BAMF)
chairman Anthony Browne declared
the manifesto pledge “bafﬂing, having
had complete assurance from DEFRA
[Department for Environment, Food and
Rural Affairs] that this would not happen”.

Soldani bronze brings £320,000
THIS Italian baroque bronze depicting
Ganymede and the Eagle by
Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi
(1656-1740) proved the highlight of
Lyon & Turnbull’s sale in Edinburgh
on April 22.
It sold for £320,000 (plus 25/20%
buyer’s premium).
Soldani was Master of the Mint in
Florence but, as perhaps the ﬁnest
bronze caster in Europe in the late
1600s, extended his range well
beyond the coinage of Tuscany. His
workshop, conveniently situated opposite
the entrance to the Ufﬁzi Gallery,
attracted the British ‘Milordi’ with Lord
Burlington among the well-heeled English
gentlemen who commissioned bronzes to
be made from terracotta models.
This statuette – with an Anglo-Irish
provenance through the family of the late
Countess of Lanesborough that might
take it as far back as 1716 – may well be
one of them.

Tipu’s saleroom victory
■ Tiger of Mysore’s treasures
return to auction with interest
Anne Crane
reports
A KEY component of this
spring’s series of Islamic
auctions was Bonhams’
30-lot consignment of objects
relating to Tipu Sultan, the
Tiger of Mysore.
All were back at auction almost
exactly a decade after they were bought
by the same bidder at Sotheby’s £1m
sale of items from Robin Wigington’s
collection in 2005. The market
welcomed their return.
Highly educated and a successful
ruler, Tipu Sultan (1750-99) is something
of a hero for the southern Indian
peoples, governing the state of Mysore
from 1782 until his death at the siege
of his capital Seringapatam.
Several days of looting in the city
followed with the treasures of his palace
divided among the British soldiers. Today
these rare artefacts carry a particular
resonance and cut across cultural
boundaries.
Bidding on April 21 was no less
intense than it was in 2005 and the
prices substantially higher.
All of the lots sold, many for multiples
of their estimates. There were four
principal bidders, three of them on the
phone and one in the room – the BritishMalaysian entrepreneur Sir Mogan
Lourdenadin who was buying for his
private collection.
Topping the bill was a 15th century
double-bladed sword from Tipu’s
treasury which had been mounted
with an 18th century pommel formed
as a gem-set tiger’s head. It was taken
from the Sultan’s regalia of ofﬁce and
matched the tiger’s head ﬁnials on his
gold throne.
The tiger is very much seen as Tipu’s
emblem and this evocative trophy piece
sparked a particularly long bidding battle
featuring an online bidder, Sir Mogan
and two of the phone bidders, one of
whom ﬁnally secured it at £1.85m.
Back in 2005 the sword had
realised just £50,000 and Bonhams
had estimated it this time around at
£60,000-80,000.
A late 18th century three-pounder
bronze cannon and ﬁeld carriage from
the Seringapatam manufactory created a
similarly lengthy contest between three
of the main bidders taking it to £1.2m,
with the hammer falling to Sir Mogan.
A silver-mounted ﬂintlock sporting
gun with the butt carved as a crouching
tiger that had come from Tipu’s personal
armoury and was dated 1222 (1793-94),
sold for £600,000 to one of the phones.
In 2005 these had sold for £55,000
and £100,000 respectively.
Mr Wigington, a dealer and collector
in Stratford-upon-Avon, spent 30 years
putting together a private museum of
Indian arms and armour from which his
Tipu collection was dispersed in 2005.

Insurance for conceptual art
US insurance ﬁrms Crystal & Co and AIG Private Client Group are working together to
create a new product for owners of conceptual art. The insurers say that – in an area
where form and material is often of secondary importance to the idea expressed – the
key is to protect against the loss of the certiﬁcate of authenticity provided by the artist.
“Since a piece of paper is often the only document essentially giving value to a work
of conceptual art, we wanted to ﬁnd a way to protect our clients’ investments even if
something happens to their certiﬁcate,” said Jonathan Crystal, executive vice president
of Crystal & Co.
Previously, this reference to lost or damaged certiﬁcates of ownership has not been
spelled out in the small print of ﬁne art insurance policies.
Ron Fiamma, global head of private collections for AIG Private Client Group, said the
new coverage reﬂects a growing need as the art market embraces more challenging
contemporary works. “Conceptual art collecting has increased in recent years, and as a
result we have ﬁelded more questions about policy contract coverage,” he said.

Dr Charles Avery, former deputy
keeper of sculpture at the V&A, who
catalogued the piece, speculated it was
purchased with its pair depicting Leda
and the Swan (now missing) by the
Countess’s descendant Theophilus Butler
(c.1669-1723) probably from Soldani’s
representative GG Zamboni in London.
Butler represented County Cavan and
Belturbet in the Irish House of Commons.
The only other version of this 15in
(38cm) model is in the Fitzwilliam
Museum, Cambridge, who also own a
version of Leda and the Swan. L&T were
able to compare the two side-by-side
during cataloguing.
L&T furniture and work of art specialist
Douglas Girtin told ATG the bronze had
been overlooked by the family but was
spotted as an item of some signiﬁcance
during a routine valuation in November.
The intervening six months allowed the
auctioneers to nail down the attribution
and promote the bronze properly.
Estimated at £100,000-150,000, it
attracted ﬁve phone bidders (three from
continental Europe and one from the US)
plus two bidders in the room. Mr Girtin
said it sold to “a well-known UK dealer”.

“We were very surprised to see
this manifesto commitment by the
Conservatives, which appears to represent
an abrupt U-turn from their previous
policy,” he told ATG.
“Ministers have conﬁrmed to us on
many occasions that they recognised and
respected the clear distinction between the
illicit market for ivory and the legitimate
ownership of antique cultural objects and
the market for them, and they have always
supported the legitimate market.”
The impact would be widespread,
he said. “While we welcome the
Conservative Party’s acknowledgment
of the importance of the British art and
antiques trade, which directly supports
over 40,000 jobs, there should be no
doubt that an unqualiﬁed ban on the
trade in all ivory, regardless of its age,
would have a profoundly damaging effect
on many businesses in the art market.
“Further than that, it would affect
anyone who owns an heirloom made
from, or containing, ivory – musical
instruments, miniature paintings on ivory,
furniture with ivory keyholes or inlay,
teapots with ivory ﬁnials, early carvings.
The list is long. These would become
unsaleable under such a ban.”
Dealer Martin Levy of H Blairman &
Son said: “There is universal support for
the protection of endangered species,
not least the elephant. But demonising
works of art that happen to be made of,
or contain ivory, is to cut us off from our
shared cultural past.
“It is smacks of Maoism for a political
party to wish to deprive owners of their
freedom in relation to treasured artefacts,
often handed down as heirlooms – and
this from the Conservative Party.
“The art market is totally behind the
NGOs’ ﬁght for the elephant. Let these
organisations recognise our support, and
at the same time express publicly what is
obvious: there is no correlation between
a 17th century baroque ivory cup, and the
illicit trade in poached tusks – none.”
Paul McManus, chief executive, Music
Industries Association, also expressed his
concern to ATG: “The MIA is working
closely with the numerous authorities
involved to ensure both sensible and
pragmatic controls of protected and
endangered materials. This includes
challenging any legislation that affects
reasonable and obvious trade on products
that are currently classed as antique and
exempt and that existed prior to current
rulings.”
It is not just the trade who are
concerned by the proposals.
Referring to the recently tightened
regulations governing the trade in
endangered species, Dr Marjorie Trusted,
senior curator of sculpture at the Victoria
and Albert Museum, told ATG: “CITES
has proved a highly effective means of
preventing the import and sale of poached
ivory from Africa in the past few years.
A ban like this could stultify the perfectly
valid movement of ivory works of art.”
And she feared for the future of
museum collections as a result.
“A ban on the sales of ivory would mean
museums would not be able to acquire and
make publicly accessible ivory works of art,
for example important gothic or baroque
pieces, as they would not be allowed to
come on to the market,” she said.
“What upsets me is the loss of
common sense. We all deplore the
criminal poaching of elephants, but a ban
of the sale of antique ivory works of art
would not in any way prevent this.”
Mr Browne backed up this view:
“BAMF has repeatedly expressed its
wholehearted support for effective
measures to stamp out poaching and the
illicit market in ivory, but it is hard to see
how banning someone from selling their
grandmother’s piano is in any way relevant
to this.”
Dr Trusted believes that the arguments
for a total ban simply don’t add up.
“In the US the authorities have
attempted to justify a total ban by saying
that it is impossible to tell the difference
between antique worked ivory and newlyworked ivory,” she said. “But professionals
in the art world would immediately be
able to tell the difference, and would
be happy to work with the customs
authorities or the police on this.”
Last year attitudes to ivory and the
legislation surrounding it took centre stage
in the antiques trade.
Chiswick Auctions banned all sales of
ivory after inadvertently falling foul of the
law in 2014, while in July last year the
BBC’s Antiques Roadshow conﬁrmed it
had become increasingly cautious about
showing items containing ivory on screen.
ATG’s guidelines on endangered
species are available on our website.

PABLO Picasso is likely to
set a record price for art at
auction once more when Les
femmes d’Alger goes under
the hammer at Christie’s in
New York on May 11.
Yet, while his paintings continue to
push the price ceiling at auction – this
one carries hopes of around $140m – his
more abundant ceramic pieces from a
25-year stint at the Madoura pottery in
Southern France remain among the most
affordable of his works on the market…
for the moment at least.
Over the past decade, demand for
Picasso ceramics has gained momentum,
and they now merit dedicated sales at
Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
High sell-through rates averaging
over 90% and regular multi-estimate
prices have been the benchmark of
these sales in recent times. Auction
houses have found it fairly easy to
source material (consignors are naturally
keen to get a slice of the action), and
the large catalogue of Picasso ceramics
(600 wares recreated in editions from
25 to 500) means estimates have been
kept low. This has helped create the
competition.
Prices for editioned Picasso ceramics
Highlights from Sotheby’s dedicated Picasso ceramics sale on March 18.
1. Chouette visage de femme vase from an edition of 300 – £30,000.
2. A dish from a complete service visage noir set – £75,000. 3. Aztec four-faced
vase – £70,000. 4. Taureau sous l’arbre plate – £1400. 5. Poule vessel – £2600.
6. Tripode vase – £190,000.
continued to impress at Sotheby’s
(25/20/12% buyer’s premium)
dedicated sale in New Bond Street on
March 18. Vases, pitches, plates and
bowls were among 146 lots on offer. All
bar seven sold to total £1.38m.
Severine Nackers, head of prints at
Sotheby’s Europe, said the popularity of
the sale was because buyers were drawn
to these pieces as “ultimately each
ceramic is so distinctly recognisable as a
Picasso”.
More than 75% of the lots attracted
online bidding – an indication that the
new generation of buyers were heavily
involved. Indeed, rivals Christie’s have
had similar success and now hold online-
AN EXPERIMENTAL RHINO
Above: this 7in (18cm) long Doulton Burslem rhino was among the more ﬁercely contested
lots of Bonhams’ dedicated sale of decorative arts from 1860 in London on April 1. In a rare
experimental high-ﬁre mottled jade green glaze, the c.1920 piece sold for £6000 against a
£1500-2000 estimate.
only sales of Picasso ceramics several
times a year.
The top-seller at Sotheby’s was
Picasso’s popular Tripode, a large and
rare 2ft 6in (76cm) vase decorated with
the portrait of Françoise Gilot, Picasso’s
lover and muse. One of 75 issued in
1951, it nearly trebled hopes to sell for
£190,000 to a private collector.
Picasso’s 22in (55cm) high Aztec fourfaced vase, another popular visage-style
work, had been consigned from a private
European collection. Made in 1957 in a
slightly larger edition of 100, it sold for
nearly double the estimate at £70,000.
A visage noir complete dinner service
set was a popular addition to the sale
selling for £75,000 against a £30,00040,000 estimate. Made in 1948, it
comprised one 19½in (49cm) dish and
a dozen 9¼in (23cm) plates from the
edition of 100, each inscribed Pour
Catherine et Jean Louis.
The biggest surprise among the multiestimate selling lots was Chouette visage
de femme, an 11½in (29cm) vase made in
1952 in a sizeable edition of 300. Against
hopes of £3000-5000, it eventually sold
at £30,000 to a private collector.
For those with smaller budgets, the
Sotheby’s sale included a number of
examples valued at three-ﬁgure and low
four-ﬁgure sums. For instance, a hen
or poule vessel made in 1954 in a large
edition of 500 sold for a mid-estimate
£2600, while a 7½in (19cm) plate
decorated with a bull, entitled Taureau
sous l’arbre (bull under the tree), and also
in an edition of 500, made in 1952, sold
for a mid-estimate £1400.

PICASSO CERAMICS: THE MARKET
Decorative arts dealer Sylvia Powell has
witnessed the change in this sector.
“The market has moved on to the next
generation. Picasso’s ceramics have
decorative appeal and they sit well in
modern houses,” she says.
And it’s not only Picasso’s ceramics
that are increasing in popularity
according to Ms Powell; the pottery of his
contemporaries such as Cocteau, Leger
and Chagall are also attracting greater
interest. The underlying draw to all this
is, of course, “buying into a name at an
affordable price”.
One has to look back to the late 1980s
and early ‘90s to see a comparable spike
in the market. Back then, designated sales
of Picasso ceramics were commonplace,
with prices almost as high as they are
now. However, the market dried up as
demand largely from Japan fell away.
Today, two types of private buyer
dominate the ﬁeld: wealthy professionals
in the UK who buy at the middle and
lower range and the multi-millionaire
clients active in the UK and abroad who
spend vast sums.
In 2012, Christie’s capitalised on the
surge of interest from private buyers,
offering the vast 543-lot collection of
editioned pieces straight from the
Madoura studio in Vallauris, South of
France where Picasso created them and
where they had been left untouched
for decades. A white-glove auction, it
was probably the single most important
sale dedicated to Picasso’s editioned
ceramics and established a new high
for such items at auction, with a large
femmes voilées vase taking £650,000
(see ATG 2049).
For buyers at auction, the more
limited the edition, the more desirable
the piece. Condition, subject matter
and size also affect prices signiﬁcantly.
Pieces in mint condition and decorated
with images typically associated with
Picasso, such as a bull, ﬁsh or bird,
tend to prove more popular with
collectors.
Picasso also worked on over 3500
unique pieces, most of which are
now in museums, although some do
ocassionally appear on the market.
PICASSO GLASSWARE
In November 1965, the Museum of Modern
Art, with the help of Peggy Guggenheim,
opened Sculpture In Glass.
This temporary exhibition included 33
objects designed by Picasso, Guggenheim’s
then ex-husband Max Ernst and Ernst’s
longtime friend, Jean Arp. All the works
were executed in glass from the factories of
Murano.
The event was part of a 15-year project
by Venetian dealer and glass artist Egidio
Costantini, founder of the glass art gallery
Fucina degli Angeli (Forge of the Angels), to
draw attention to the Venetian island and
its centuries-old tradition of glassblowing.
Similar to the production of bronze and
marble sculpture, the procedure involved
the artist producing a model which was
then passed to the factory to be made into
editions. For Picasso, this led to the creation
of a series of powerful glass sculptures, with
the artist providing a new take on shape,
form and colour.
It’s now 50 years since MOMA’S exhibition
and decorative arts dealer Sylvia Powell
has compiled her own Modern Masters glass
collection, including works by Picasso and
Marc Chagall, part of which she will show at
Spring Masters New York.
These Murano glass creations are rare. “As
editions were kept low very few glass pieces
were made,” she said.
“They have already generated tremendous
interest,” she added.
Among the highlights is a Picasso artist’s
proof for Flamenco, above, an 18in
(45cm) high work made in 1954. Sourced
from a private collection in Germany, it is
marked to the base with both Picasso’s and
Constanini’s names.
Spring Masters New York runs from May
8-12 at Park Avenue Amory and prices from
Ms Powell’s glass collection will range from
£35,000-75,000. More will be on display at
Art Antiques London in June.

auction reports
Summers Place garden statues stand tall
Above: David Wynne’s 1968 marble statue The
Lovers – £51,000 at Summers Place where, right,
the Coadestone version of the Borghese Urn –
paired with the Medici Urn – took £54,000.
ONE of the ofﬁcial signs that spring has
sprung, the April sale of garden statuary
at Summers Place (25/20% buyer’s
premium), reﬂected a fairly healthy
situation in the garden – particularly
English ones.
Sale rates of around 45% at both
the 157-lot live sale on April 14 and the
464-lot sealed bid sale the following
day would look shaky at other sales.
Here, where the auctioneers are at the
whim of private buyers, such selling rates
are acceptable – particularly when the
auctions notched up hammer totals of
£304,000 and £426,000 respectively.
At the live sale, the stars were English
favourites Coadestone and the sculptor
David Wynne (1926-2014), but both were
outsold by the hugely in-demand sculptor
James Doran-Webb (b.1968) at the sealed
bid sale.
The Coadestone contribution was the
pair of monumental Medici and Borghese
urns from 1815, 8ft 6in (2.59m) tall on
their Portland stone pedestals, classic
pieces which had been at Newtown
Park House, Dublin, until 1976. They
sold within estimate at £54,000 to a
phone bidder.
The sculpture by Wynne, who
produced portrait sculptures of everyone
from the Queen to the Beatles as well as
some of the best-known public statuary
in England, was a 5ft 3in (1.04m) tall
creation in Norwegian rose marble from
1968 entitled The Lovers. Estimated at
£20,000-30,000, it sold to a collector in
the room at £51,000.
“It is good to see that both traditional
garden statuary and contemporary
sculpture can achieve high prices at the
moment,“ said auctioneer James Rylands.
“Both lots were rare and top quality in
their categories. They were certainly both
worth investing in.”
Outselling both was a work by DoranWebb the following day.
He is famed for his life-sized
depictions of animals using driftwood
but this was an 18ft wide, 7ft 7in high
(5.5 x 2.34m) bronze of rutting stags and
sold within estimate at £92,750.
COLLECTORS TWIGGED IT
Left: Birmingham manufacturer George
Twigg patented a number of similar steel
corkscrews in the 1860s – all of them of
interest to collectors. This example with a
triple pillar and a side handle lifting jack is
impressed simply G Twiggs patent and ranks
among the maker’s scarcest models. It arrived
at Denhams (15% buyer’s premium) in
Horsham, West Sussex, in a box of otherwise
uneventful items and – in good original
condition – attracted ﬁve phone bidders on
April 8 before selling to a collector in Sydney,
Australia, at £2100 (estimate £200-300).
BARBIE PLAYS HER PART
They are not yet in the same doll’s house as Jumeau or Kämmer
& Reinhardt, but Barbie and Sasha dolls have a large army of
collectors, nonetheless. Examples offered by Anderson &
Garland (19.5% buyer’s premium) at a fortnightly general sale
in Newcastle on February 25 showed their auction appeal.
The Sasha, left, and Barbie, right, were brought in by a local
lady who had owned them since childhood and thought twoﬁgure estimates quite ambitious. They attracted what auctioneer
John Anderson described as a bidding frenzy with online rivals
driving the action before a local specialist collector took Sasha at
£1100 and Barbie, which had been initially unrecognised and so
offered with two other dolls, at £1300.
“The Barbie was either a ﬁrst or second pattern doll,” said Mr
Anderson. “There is actually very little difference between the
two but both are rare in this country. She has distinctive painted
eyes and a very stylised face, which was softened later on. Type
three, which came out in the 1960s, has a totally different face.”
The auctioneers have a type three Barbie coming up for sale in
May 6 complete with outﬁts in unopened packaging.
The date was also key to Sasha’s success – it was one of the
brand’s early examples with the almost alien face. “This was a
really rare Sasha without a philtrum – the crease that joins the
lower part of nose to the top lip,” said Mr Anderson.
MAORI MONEY
Far from being a South Sea Bubble, the
market in Oceanic, and indeed all tribal
art, continues to grow, often fuelled by
unconsidered souvenirs discovered in the
attics and cupboards of Britain.
A Reading lady doing the spring
cleaning came across this carved box
above in a cupboard. It belonged to her
late husband, She remembered it as a
South Seas box but couldn’t recall where
her husband acquired it and, having
never particularly liked it, consigned it to
Wokingham auctioneers Martin & Pole
(15% buyer’s premium).
Once it went online, it was identiﬁed
as a Maori money box and sparked wide
interest. Offered at the April 15 sale
it triggered a four-way bidding battle
among phone bidders outside the UK
before selling at £3000 to a French
buyer in the room who made a day trip
specially to acquire it. “It’s proof of the
strength of the-saleroom.com platform
for niche items,” said auctioneer Pascal
McNamara.
Antiques Trade Gazette
BADEN-POWELL’S OWN SCOUT HAT
The World Organisation of the Scout Movement has 28 million
members spread across 216 countries, so keen international interest
was pretty much guaranteed for 400 items of scouting memorabilia
offered on March 28 at Plymouth Auction Rooms (20%
buyer’s premium inc. VAT).
Entered by a Plymouth collector and former scout, the
collection totalled £15,000 with the best-seller being the
classic boy scout hat, left, worn by the movement’s
founder, Baden-Powell. The hat, offered with a postcard
showing Baden-Powell wearing it, dated from 1890 and
had a leather sweat band inscribed in gold leaf Specially
Manufactured for Colonel R.S.S. Baden-Powell.
The bidding battle came down to a western Australian
enthusiast on the phone and John Cabello of Parade
Antiques in the room – victory and a round of applause going
to the Plymouth dealer who bid £1300. Mr Cabello told ATG he
purchased it for stock along with approximately three-quarters of the
collection. “It will make a nice exhibit in the shop” he said.
MASON MAKING HIS MARK
A rare appearance at auction of a Mason’s Ironstone chimneypiece
brought a ﬂurry of interest from the US when offered by Chorley’s
(18% buyer’s premium) at Prinknash Abbey Park on March 25.
Although Miles Mason produced these chinoiserie pieces from
around 1820 to the mid 19th century, few appear to have survived.
Only four have made the news in the past 23 years – taking
premium-inclusive bids of £9900 at Christie’s in 1992; $30,000
(£20,000) and £16,100 at Sotheby’s New York and London in 2007
and a hammer £5000 at Bonhams last June.
As the latter price suggests, the market for Mason’s is not quite
what it was two decades ago.
The Gloucestershire chimneypiece c.1830 stood 5ft wide x 4ft wide
(1.53 x 1.22m). It had a shaped raised mantel on a frieze set with scroll
work, moulded lion dog masks to the sides and was decorated with
printed chinoiserie panels on a pale blue ground. It carried the printed
Mason’s mark
Mindful of the latest market, and the fact that the chimneypiece
had been damaged and restored, Chorley’s put the estimate at
£5000-8000 and it sold at the lower ﬁgure.
Above: a guest pass to George IV’s Coronation and, below, a
ticket to the Duke of Wellington’s 1847 funeral – £5400.
ROYAL RELICS
An album of memorabilia put together by an early 20th century
palace courtier brought a right royal response from bidders at the
Cirencester rooms of Moore Allen & Innocent (18% buyer’s
premium) on March 13.
As a Gold Staff Ofﬁcer, Keith Murray was an usher at Edward
VII’s coronation in 1902 and funeral in 1911 and an ofﬁcial at the
opening of Parliaments between 1908 and 1920. A Buckingham
Palace garden party in 1920 appears to have been his last
engagement.
His collection included gate passes, seating plans, orders of
service etc to all the functions he attended but was also a treasure
trove of earlier (and rarer) royal ephemera.
Among the hoard was a ticket to the Coronation of George IV
– the chaotic affair with George’s estranged wife Caroline beating
at the Abbey doors demanding to be let in. There were also tickets
to George IV’s funeral, the coronation and funeral of William IV,
Queen Victoria’s coronation and the Duke of Wellington’s funeral
in 1847.
The album sold comfortably above the top estimate at £5400.
Staying on a royal theme, two pairs of chairs from the
coronations of George VI and the Queen, each embroidered with
the monarch’s cypher, also sold well.
Guests get the chance to buy their chairs and stools to defray
costs of coronations and they appear on the market from time to
time. A local man who had been a page at the Queen’s Coronation
was determined to secure a memento of 62 years ago and took the
1953 chairs well above estimate at £880 and the George VI chairs
within expectations at £500.

Above: Isleworth mug – £2500 at Halls.
CAUGHLEY CAUSES DELIGHT
Members of the Caughley Society were
out in force when a London couple’s
collection of Caughley and other early
English porcelain came ‘home’ to
Shropshire to be offered in 158 lots
at Halls (20% buyer’s premium) in
Shrewsbury on April 15.
The collection as a whole sold above
expectations at £31,000 but the bestseller wasn’t from the 1775-99 Caughley
factory at all.
“The collector had thought it was
Caughley when he bought it,” said Halls
expert Caroline Dennard, “but it has
been referenced as a recent discovery of
Isleworth output.”
The reattribution enhanced its
commercial fortunes three-fold.
The porcelain mug, above, with a
blue-lined upper rim and the blue initials
JAM, was a rare piece from the west
London factory (1757-1831) which has
been the subject of a lot of scholarly
interest in the past 20 years. As such, it
attracted a deal of international interest
before selling at £2500.
The 135 pieces of Caughley material
were also a major factor in the sale’s
success. “There’s a strong collectors’
market for them,” said auctioneer Jeremy
Lamond. “We were delighted with the
response.”
Among the rarities were a polychrome
mug with a cartouche of a shepherdess
at £1100, below, a teacup from the
Prince of Wales service at £900, an egg
cup at £880 and a caddy spoon at £820,
all four prices more than doubling their
estimates.

Above: a sale coinciding with the 70th
anniversary of the Dambusters raid, Operation
Chastise, offers this poignant telegram found
in a house clearance in Oxfordshire (and used
as a bookmark for several years). The privately
consigned telegram is from Air Marshal ‘Bomber’
Harris to the 617 Squadron ofﬁcers’ mess detailing
the death of the Dambusters’ squadron leader,
Guy Gibson, on November 19, 1944. Gibson, a
Victoria Cross winner for his Dambusters role, was
killed on a bombing mission ﬂying a Mosquito
from 627 squadron. Having completed the raid,
Gibson went on to check anti-aircraft positions,
but the aircraft crashed, killing both Gibson
and his navigator Squadron Leader JB Warwick.
Fieldings estimate it at £400-600 in their May
16 sale in Stourbridge.

Right: this British early 19th century jug is transfer-printed with a protrait
of radical MP Sir Francis Burdett, with the text below The determined
enemy of corruption & the constitutional friend of his Sovereign, the
opposing side with the text Sir Francis Burdett Bart M.P. committed to the
Tower 6 April, by the House of Commons for formal and disinterestedly
asserting the legal rights of British people. The 5½in (14cm) high jug is
estimated at £150-250 in new Stowmarket saleroom Bishop & Miller’s
ﬁrst sale on May 2. Sir Francis (1770-1844), who backed parliamentary
reform and supported campaigns such as religious toleration and ending
the slave trade, was charged with a breach of privilege by the House
of Commons because of an article in Cobbett’s Political Register. A
confrontation with the Perceval government had been building for some
time. Sir Francis was arrested on the morning of April 9, 1810, and ordered
to be conﬁned to the Tower of London until the end of the parliamentary
session on June 21.

■ Gallery stages show of 30
pieces from one collection
THE cool, ethereal beauty of
Song dynasty ceramics has
many devotees, including
those left cold by more
ornately decorated Imperial
Chinese productions.
As a masterclass in understatement,
they are timeless in their simplicity, and
their makers seem to have revelled in
the subtle effects and unpredictability of
glazes and the happy accidents of
the kiln.
Though apparently so minimal,
they are incredibly skilled productions,
the result of a golden era of ceramic
production thanks to advances in design,
decoration, glaze and ﬁring techniques.
Makers have since persistently tried to
emulate them, both in China and further
aﬁeld, perhaps most notably in the Studio
and Art Pottery movements in the west
in the 19th and 20th centuries; Lucie Rie’s
work immediately springs to mind.
From May 8-29, Eskenazi hold an
exhibition of 30 Song dynasty ceramics
from one private collection, said to
represent “almost all the principal wares
of the period” with examples from
Northern Song (960-1127) and Southern
Song (1127-1279) periods.
The group boasts illustrious
provenance, including examples
previously owned by key western
collectors of the 20th century, among
them Lord Cunliffe, Mr and Mrs Alfred
Clark, Johannes Hellner and Alfred
Schoenlicht.
Only a couple of weeks ago, on April
7, the enduring desirability of Song
ceramics was again demonstrated at
Sotheby’s Hong Kong with the sale of
a Southern Song ‘Guan’ octagonal vase
for HK$113.88m (US$14.6m), pictured
above right, said to be the third-highest
price paid at auction for a Song ceramic.
David Landau
IN the preview of the Original Print
Fair in last week’s ATG (No 2188),
David Landau was incorrectly
referred to as ‘the late’. Mr
Landau is very much alive and we
apologise wholeheartedly for the
mistake.
Above left: Guiseppe Eskenazi picks this Jizhou ware black-glazed
stoneware ‘leaf’ bowl from Jiangxi province as his personal highlight
from the May show. The 12th-13th century Southern Song period
bowl, 6in (15cm) diameter, is priced in the region of $1m.
Left: Eskenazi’s exhibition features three pieces of Jun ware,
produced from the end of the Northern Song period to the Ming
dynasty (1368-1644). Among them is this abstract blue-glazed,
purple-splashed grey stoneware dish, the effect created by the
application of copper to the dried glaze before the vessel was ﬁred
in a reduction kiln. The 12th-13th century dish, 7¼in (18.5cm)
diameter, is priced in excess of $1.5m.
Above: April 7, the Southern Song ‘Guan’ octagonal vase sold at
Sotheby’s Hong Kong for HK$113.88m (US$14.6m) on April 7, said
to be the third-highest price paid at auction for a Song ceramic.
This was the ﬁrst time it had been on
the open market since 1975, when it was
bought by Eskenazi at Sotheby’s London
before entering the Japanese collection in
which it remained for four decades.
In Hong Kong, it sold to the Chinese
collector Liu Yiqian and is destined for
the Long Museum in Shanghai, which is
owned by Mr Liu and his wife, Wang Wei.
Commenting on that sale, Guiseppe
Eskenazi said: “I’m not at all surprised
at the price of the vase at Sotheby’s,
particularly as Guan is one of the rarest
wares of the Song period.
“In fact, I know the piece very well as
we bought it at an auction at Sotheby’s
in London, many years ago [in 1975], and
it wouldn’t have surprised me if it had
sold for more this time round.
“We are pleased to have a Guan dish
in the exhibition which was previously in
the renowned collection of Lord Cunliffe
(1899-1963), and which is one of the last
of its type in private hands.”
The diminutive Imperial green-grey
glazed dish is the Eskenazi exhibition’s star
piece.
It was made at a kiln near the southern
Song palace in Hangzhou, Zhejiang
Province, for the court after the emperor,
Gaozong, was driven southwards in 1127
during the Jin-Song wars.
Also boasting imperial connections
is an ivory-white glazed, porcellaneous
stoneware, moulded ‘dragon’ dish
from the Ding kilns in Hebei Province,
decorated with a moulded design of a
dragon with open jaws and four claws
to each foot, a design associating it with
the court.
“In fact, I know the piece
very well as we bought it
at auction at Sotheby’s in
London many years ago”
Previously in the collection of
HM Knight, it was exhibited at the
Rijksmuseum in 1954, and at Eskenazi
in 2010.
Another white-glazed Ding ware piece
is a circular dish with a ﬂat rim, carved
with lotus blooms and leaves – once a
prized piece in the Toguri Museum of Art
in Tokyo, with a published history back
to at least 1959 – alongside examples
of black-glazed and russet-glazed Ding
vessels.
In the panel above right, Guiseppe
Eskenazi picks out his highlight piece and
gives further insight into the show, which
is accompanied by a catalogue with an
introduction written by the Song expert
Prof Nigel Wood, emeritus professor to
the University of Westminster, London
and member, sub-faculty for archaeology,
University of Oxford.
Prices in the show range from around
$60,000 to about $5m.

Q
10
of the Song ceramics
In the run-up to Eskenazi’s exhibition of Song period wares
from a private collection (May 8 to 29) in London, Guiseppe
Eskenazi talks to ATG’s Anna Brady about the collection and the
appeal of Song ceramics.
Right: Giuseppe
Ezkenazi of the
eponymous
gallery.
AB: Why and how has this exhibition has come about, and why
you have chosen to hold it in May?
GE: The pieces have been selected from an important private collection
which we have helped to assemble over the past 20 years. Most of the
pieces have been handled by us before at some point over the past two
decades and so it is particularly exciting to be able to show them together
in this exhibition, especially as they represent so many different wares
of the period. The timing is prompted by the auctions of Chinese art at
Sotheby’s and Bonham’s, and is also midway through the year to our
annual autumn exhibition. AB: Song ceramics have a history of being collected by western
collectors and are often considered to be of ‘western taste’. Is
this still the case or do you now ﬁnd that this demand has been
matched, perhaps superseded, by interest from Chinese buyers?
GE: The history of collecting Song ceramics is particularly interesting
as many of the wares have long been craved outside China. As early
as the 15th century, Song ceramics were hugely popular in Japan, in a
large part due to their tradition of the tea ceremony. In the 20th century,
they became popular with western connoisseurs and they certainly still
command attention in the west. The Song period saw a huge increase in
the production of ceramics which led to the founding of new kilns and a
great variety of styles, but in general they are not as ornate as ceramics
of other periods and this seems to add a more universal appeal. As
with many other areas of the market, we have seen more new Chinese
collectors acquiring Song ceramics which currently offer great value
compared to some other periods. AB: Does the timeless quality of Song dynasty ceramics, and
their continued inﬂuence upon design, mean they have a
broader appeal among, for instance, collectors of Modern and
Contemporary art and design alongside devotees of Asian art?
GE: In terms of aesthetic appeal and admiration, this is certainly
true. In terms of collecting, Song ceramics are very much an area of
connoisseurship. They are often of modest proportions and are very tactile

1. How long have you been dealing?
I have had the gallery for ten years.
2. Do you do any fairs? Yes, we do
fairs in London and internationally, mostly
recently Design Miami/Basel. In London next
we are at COLLECT at the Saatchi Gallery
from May 8-11.
3. What was your ﬁrst job? I was a
corporate art consultant in London.
4. Best and worst thing about being a
dealer? Best: working with artists, visiting
their studios to see new work. I love
advising collectors on which artists to
collect. Worst: keeping the database up
to date and wrapping artwork after a long
art fair.
objects, meant for handling and personal appreciation. We haven’t yet
seen an inﬂux of Modern and Contemporary collectors into this market. AB: Do you have a personal highlight piece in the exhibition?
GE: It is difﬁcult to pick a favourite, particularly given the variety of
wares, and my favourite might change daily. I do admire the leaf bowl;
these are the most celebrated ceramics of the Jizhou kiln and as well as
being a beautiful object to the eye and the touch, it also has a fascinating
ownership history having been in the collection of Mr and Mrs Alfred
Clark. It was also shown at numerous exhibitions including important
exhibition of Chinese art at the Royal Academy in London in 1935 and the
Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris in 1937, and at the exhibition of 50 famous
tea bowls at Okayama Art Museum in Japan in 1977.
Stronger sales boost Antiques for Everyone
PICTURED here is Jo Bentley of Steve Bentley Decorative
Arts, seated on the Scottish Arts & Crafts settle, covered in
Liberty’s fabric, that she sold for £1150 at the latest Antiques
for Everyone at Birmingham’s NEC (April 9-12).
The event reported stronger sales, particularly in the
middle-market, than at the last event in December, where the
pre-Christmas date made for tough trade as visitors’ minds
were generally more on Christmas presents than antiques. The
winter event has consequently been moved forward again this
year to November 19-22.
“The fair enjoyed a resurgence in business as middle-market
sales showed every sign of gathering pace,” said fair director
Mary Claire Boyd. “Our specialist dealers commented that
they were pleased to sell to many new clients who came from
far and wide. The outlook for the rest of the year looks very
positive.”
The stand-out sale of the ﬁrst day was that of a collection of
Minton pâte-surpâte vases by Marc-Louis Solon (1835-1913) to
a Taiwanese collector. The collection belonged to the ceramics
dealer Scottow Antiques and was sold for a sum “in excess of
£85,000”.
Sales of art were healthier than at recent fairs, predominantly
in the middle-range. Art of the Imagination’s decision to
concentrate almost exclusively on new illustrations of The

5. Best buy and biggest mistake?
Best buy: Maisie Broadhead Keep them
sweet, a photographic piece by a successful
contemporary photographer which was
recently exhibited at the Brighton Pavilion,
selected for the Jerwood Makers Open
prize and also by Hope Kingsley for the
photographic show, Seduced by art at the
National Gallery. She is a young artist that
graduated from the Royal College of art and
has a great future! Biggest mistake: Luckily I
don’t make them...
6. Dream object? One of
Michael Peterson’s monumental
spectacular Coastal Stacks, sculpted in
wood. He is a very successful American artist
who lives on Lopez Island, Washington State.
7. What key trends have you
noticed at the moment?
Contemporary art encompasses many art
disciplines. Boundaries in art are being
broken down. Contemporary craft and
design can be easily categorised as ﬁne
art. It is an exciting time where art can
mean many things and is not restricted to a
speciﬁc medium.
8. Biggest threat to the trade at
the moment? Auction houses acting as
commercial galleries.
Above: Jo Bentley of Steve Bentley Decorative Arts, seated on the
Scottish Arts & Crafts settle sold for £1150 at AfE.
Jungle Book by Lute Vink, who ﬂew in from South Africa for
the duration of the fair, paid off as 10 original works were sold,
with after-fair sales, which director Mike Emeny described as
“a tremendous success”.
The next Antiques for Everyone is from July 23-26.
9. Any advice for those starting out in
the trade? You need to be really passionate
about art and committed – it’s a tough
business.
10. Real ale or espresso martini?
Neither... only champagne!

THE UK’S capital comes over all crafty
from May 6-10 as the ﬁrst London
Craft Week launches, with the aim of
promoting the city’s myriad makers.
The programme entails a series of
public events around London, both in
the stores and well-known galleries,
including Contemporary Applied Arts
and The New Craftsmen, and luxury
brands such as Mulberry and Asprey, and
at the studios of lesser-known makers –
the studio complexes Craft Central and
Cockpit Arts are hives of creative activity
where you will discover someone or
something new.
London Craft Week was set up by
Guy Salter and the founding partner
and supporter of the not-for-proﬁt
event is the watch manufacturer
Vacheron Constantin, who will run it in
partnership with the Mayor of London,
the Crafts Council, Walpole and the
Heritage Crafts Association.
The full schedule comprises more
than 50 demonstrations, talks, tours,
workshops and open studios, spanning
fashion and tailoring, tattooing,
glassblowing, watchmaking and pottery
to name a few.
Several institutions take part,
such as the Wellcome Trust (with
Heatherwick Studio), the British Library,
and the Victoria & Albert Museum,
who present the exhibition What is
Luxury? in partnership with the Crafts
Council and will also host the Heritage
Crafts Association’s ‘A Place for Craft’
conference.
But the biggest single event of London
Craft Week, one that has existed for 12
years already on its own, is The Crafts
Council’s fair dubbed COLLECT: The
International Art Fair for Contemporary
Objects, at the Saatchi Gallery from May
8-11.
Cast aside images of crocheted tea
cosies – this is craft at its most sleek and
cutting edge, with 35 galleries from
Europe, Asia and North America exhibiting
ceramics, glass, jewellery, precious metal,
wood, textiles, stoneware and furniture.
Last year, sales reportedly exceeded £1.7m.
“COLLECT is at the heart of the Craft’s
Council’s mission to make the UK the
best place to make, see, collect and
learn about contemporary craft. It is a
ﬂagship event for us and continues to go
from strength to strength,” says Rosy
Greenlees, executive director of the
Crafts Council, who adds that craft skills
contribute £3.4bn to the UK economy.
Joining the regulars this year are:
Gallery Ten (Cardiff) with the work of
Contemporary Welsh artists; Fatto ad
Arte (Milan), an Italian design gallery
dedicated to traditional arts and crafts;
Artcourt Gallery (Osaka) with three
new Japanese artists who specialise in
ceramics, metal and sculpture; Micheko
Gallery’s (Munich), also with Japanese
artists; Widell Projects (Stockholm) with

COLLECT will also be the ﬁrst time
Lithuanian online gallery Art-Cart
(Kaunas) has exhibited at a ‘live’ event.
To the fore this year is jewellery with
a showcase preview of items that will be
included in the I Am Here exhibition of
Contemporary jewellery from the 1970s
to today, which is due to fully launch
in September this year. It concentrates
dually on jewellery making since the
1970s and on public collections and the
history of jewellery that they document.
On show are items from the Craft
Council’s own collection, alongside pieces
from public collections, including MIMA
(the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern
Art, which owns the largest public
collection of jewellery), and works from
private and commercial galleries such as
Galerie Marzee and Pangolin London.
After its launch in September, I Am Here
will go on national tour next year.

Petworth Park is a
prime location for
new antiques fair
BORDERING on the market town of the same name long
known for its art and antiques galleries, Petworth House
in afﬂuent West Sussex is surely a perfect place for a fair.
And Ingrid Nilson of The Antiques Dealers Fair
has managed to bag it for her new event.
The inaugural Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair,
taking place in a purpose-built pavilion in the grounds
of the National Trust property, runs from May 8-10
with around 40 exhibitors – predominantly BADA and
LAPADA members.
They include a host of local dealers who have
chosen to support the venture by exhibiting, including
Augustus Brandt, John Bird Antiques, MoncrieffBray Gallery, Pars Rug Gallery, Richard Gardner
Antiques, Ronald G Chambers Antiques, Thomas
Fine Art, Tim Saltwell and Wilsons Antiques.
Among the exhibitors from further aﬁeld are
Freshfords Fine Antiques, Garret & Hurst Sculpture,
Hickmet Fine Arts, Mary Cooke Antiques, Richard
Ogden and Rountree Tryon Galleries.
Fittingly, The Canon Gallery will take a painting of
Terwick Mill near Midhurst by Ivon Hitchens (1893-1979),
who moved to Greenleaves, a patch of woodland near
Petworth, in 1940 to escape the bombing in London and
remained there for 40 years. This oil on canvas, painted in
1944, is priced at £65,000. It was one of a group given by
Hitchens to the woodcutter Ted Floate, who worked for
the artist on his land, framed his paintings, occasionally
modelled for him and became a close friend.
As a bonus for visitors, tickets to the fair (£10) include
free admission to Petworth House and Park, which JMW
Turner frequently visited and painted as a guest of his
patron, the 3rd Earl of Egremont. It was without a doubt
the prettiest cast member when used as a location
for Mike Leigh’s ﬁlm Mr Turner, released last year, and
visitors to the house today can see the 20 paintings
bought and commissioned by Egremont. Petworth
House ticket holders and National Trust members also
have free entry to the fair.
The event is supported by property advisers Smiths
Gore and Upperton Vineyards.

The original crowdfunder
■ Rare Lowry funfair drawing
ticks all the boxes for style and
content to delight collectors
Alex Capon
reports
WIDE views of a recognisable
location with numerous
ﬁgures are the gold standard
in the LS Lowry (1887-1976)
market.
The funfair at Daisy Nook is therefore
one of his most popular subjects,
featuring the crowded annual Easter fair
in a Lancashire country park.
Lowry painted a small group of works
depicting the event and, on the rare
occasion that one appears at auction,
they spark fervent bidding.
The artist ﬁrst visited the fair in
Failsworth near Oldham shortly after the
end of the Second World War with Alec
Laing, an early collector of his works.
The two men travelled in and around
Manchester together, deciding which
subjects would make good paintings. The
funfair took place on Good Friday (one
of two statutory holidays for cotton mill
workers – the other being Christmas Day)
and today is still owned and run by the
Silcock family (more about them later).
Two of the Daisy Nook paintings have
appeared at auction in the last ten years.
The large painting Lowry created for
Laing in 1946 set a record for the artist
when it took £3.35m at Christie’s in June
2007, while a slightly smaller and later
version from 1953 made £3m at Christie’s
in November 2011 as part of the Lord
Forte collection (the hotel magnate had
bought it from London’s The Lefevre
Gallery).
Another version also from 1946 is
now in the Government Art Collection.
Acquired in 1947, John Major later chose
to hang it in 10 Downing Street during
his years as Prime Minister. It is now on
display in the Department for Transport.
The paintings are largely similar,
although they all have different ﬁgures
and background details and show the fair
from slightly different angles.
Lowry also made a number of welldocumented drawings of Daisy Nook,
although no record of any of them selling
at auction exists. So there was a degree
of excitement when one appeared at
the latest modern art evening sale at
Capes Dunn (16% buyer’s premium)
in Manchester.
It came from a vendor in Northern
Ireland who had bought it from a Belfast
gallery in the 1980s. The vendor’s son
brought it to the auction house, whose
saleroom in Charles Street, Manchester, is
just over six miles away from Daisy Nook
Country Park.
Michael Perry of Capes Dunn, who
has viewed and sold numerous works
by Lowry during his 40 years as an
auctioneer, hung the diminutive pencil
sketch in his ofﬁce while he considered
what to do.
He decided to showed it to two Lowry
experts – George Aird of Grove Fine
DEALER’S VIEW
One dealer who viewed the Daisy Nook drawing was
Martin Summers, a member of the trade for nearly 50 years
who has a long association with LS Lowry. Mr Summers was
managing director of Lowry’s London representatives The

sale, a group of people
came to the Capes Dunn
counter and said they
were the owners of Daisy
Nook (the event)”
Art in Manchester (who, as an agent of
Lowry, knew the artist well during his
lifetime) and Martin Summers, the former
managing director of Lowry’s London
representatives The Lefevre Gallery. Both
of them thought it was right.
Signed and dated ’46, the 6¼ x 8¼in
(16 x 21cm) drawing dated from the
same period as the artist’s ﬁrst paintings
of Daisy Nook. The view had a slightly
different angle and, notably, had even
more ﬁgures than each of the three
paintings already mentioned.
“The crowd is dense even for a
drawing to Mr Summers who is now a private dealer and
consultant in Chelsea.
“When works come out of nowhere you have be very
cautious,” he told ATG.
“However, my ﬁrst reaction on viewing photographs of this
picture was positive. When I saw it in person I felt there was no
reason to doubt its authenticity.
“It’s a tiny sketch but very elaborate and controlled. I found
Lowry,” said Mr Perry, “so there’s a lot of
work in there.”
The drawing was in fair condition. It
had been laid down on card and suffered
from some foxing and discolouration,
particularly along the edges where it had
been framed. Mr Perry pointed out that
the drawing promised to restore well, with
the pencil work being particularly strong.
After cataloguing it as a fully
attributed original drawing, the estimate
was set at £30,000-40,000 for the
April 14 sale. It attracted a great deal of
interest from the local press, but how
would bidders react on the night?
On the evening of the sale, a group
of people came to the Capes Dunn
counter and said they were the owners
of Daisy Nook (the event). They turned
out to be two generations of the Silcock
family and one of them told how
their grandfather was one of the four
brothers who had founded the fair.
One of the auctioneers knew the
it extraordinarily beautiful. Other drawings of the subject are
known but it’s still a very rare thing.
“The market for Lowry remains very strong. His tremendous
following in the north is undiminished.”
When asked about the £66,000 price, Mr Summers said: “I
regard it as a very good price bearing in mind it is such a small
drawing.”

Silcock name from its appearance on
the Corgi Classics group of diecast
fairground toys, but the words ‘Silcock
Bros Thriller’ also appear on one of the
rides visible in two of Lowry’s ﬁnished
Daisy Nook paintings.
Bidding was slow to get started,
with the auctioneer having to drop the
entry point to £10,000 before someone
raised their hand. However, once he
had accepted the ﬁrst bid, a number of
competitors entered the fray. This is fairly
typical with Lowry, as bidders usually
want to be conﬁdent that other people
are interested too.
The Silcocks were in contention,
but it came down to a battle between
a London gallery bidding through
a representative in the room and a
southern English dealer on the phone. It
sold to the former at £66,000.
Lowry drawings have made more
on around 20 occasions at auction; the
record stands at £175,000 for Agecroft
Regatta, which sold at Bonhams in May
2013. However, Capes Dunn’s drawing
was considerably smaller, so the price
per square inch was fractionally higher
than the Bonhams picture. It was also
the highest for a Lowry drawing sold at
auction outside London.
Thirty lots of signed Lowry prints had
opened the sale, taking a combined
£52,110.
Mr Perry noted that for most of these
modern art evening sales a hammer total
of £80,000-100,000 is a good result;
here, however, they generated almost
£120,000 from the ﬁrst 31 lots. This lifted
the eventual sale total to £180,000.
Most of the Lowry prints came from
two different sources. Ten came from a
vendor in Leicester, including a copy of
Going to the Match.
The subject is at least as famous as
Daisy Nook and shows a large crowd of
fans on their way to Bolton Wanderers’
ground Burnden Park, the home of the
club for 102 years. Demolished in 1999,
the site is now home to retail outlets such
as an Asda supermarket.
Lowry’s original painting from 1953
sold to the Professional Footballers’
Association (PFA) at Sotheby’s in
December 1999 for £1.75m, while a
drawing of the image made £20,000 at
Christie’s in June last year.
This 21in x 2ft 3in (53 x 69cm)
lithograph at Capes Dunn was from a
signed edition of 300 produced in 1972.
It was in good condition and clearly
signed in pencil (Lowry sometimes signed
his prints with a felt-tip pen which has a
tendency to fade).
Estimated at £10,000-15,000, the
auctioneers noted interest from a lady
looking for present for her father who
is a Bolton fan. The estimate was in line
with previous prices recorded for this
print and, on the day, it sold at £12,500
to the underbidder of the Daisy Nook
drawing, an above-average price for this
print. In fact, only the £15,000 paid at

Peter Wilson promises northern art bonanza
Right: plenty more 20th century northern
art will appear at Peter Wilson’s auction in
Nantwich, Cheshire on April 29-30. Billed as
“The biggest sale of northern art by any regional
auctioneer in recent times”, it includes on the
second day almost 300 lots of paintings and
prints, all from private owners. The saleroom’s
picture specialist, Stephen Sparrow, said: “I’ve
been travelling the length and breadth of the
country in recent weeks collecting consignments
from people’s homes... The response is an
indication of the current strength of the
market.” Among the works on offer are some
of the last pictures by Lowry’s Manchester-born
friend, William Ralph Turner (1920-2013),
consigned by the executors of his estate. The 18
lots include a pencil portrait of Lowry estimated
at £1500-2000, as well as this oil on canvas
landscape of the Derbyshire mining town of
Castleton, pitched at £7000-9000.

Joyce, acrylic on paper, 15in x 12in (38 x

Re-Joycing in the
Great Outdoors
Anna Brady
reports
ALTHOUGH Peter Joyce considers himself
an abstract artist, and his paintings
appear abstract, they are rooted in the
landscape that surrounds him – he is
the sort who would always prefer to be
outdoors.
Since he moved there from his home
county of Dorset a few years ago, that
landscape has been the marshes of the
Marais Breton Vendeen in western France.
As art dealer Jenna Burlingham
points out: “The pictures would not look
like they do if it was not for the landscape
in which he immerses himself and some
of them are in fact quite literal – colours,
shape, form and texture are all taken
directly from life.”
Jenna, whose gallery is in Hampshire,
has hired Gallery 8 in Duke Street, St
James’s, to mount Moving South, Joyce’s
ﬁrst solo show in London, from May 6-10.
The title refers both to Joyce’s
geographical move and to its impact on
his paintings, which have become more
open and brighter in palette.
He initially went to the remote Marais
Breton Vendeen on holiday, attracted
by its sheer difference, later moving
there permanently. “I love being here,
it’s a challenging landscape reclaimed
from the sea,” he said. “Maybe it isn’t
so immediately obvious in terms of
aesthetic appearance as my home county
of Dorset. It isn’t hills, valleys and cliff
faces, it is endlessly ﬂat and apparently
featureless. It rewards perseverance
on the aesthetic level, very much like
painting.”
Joyce admires many different artists,
from the Renaissance to Picasso, and as a
collector of studio pottery is “stimulated
by work which doesn’t rely on what has
been done before”. But, as Jenna says,
there is certainly a nod to “the landscape
tradition of the post-war British art
movement” and the work of Lanyon,
Vaughan and Reynolds comes to mind.
Prices from £1500 to £18,000.

Harold Riley sold
at Capes Dunn.

Old Lady Behind a
Door – £7200, left.
continued from page 25
Bonhams in March this year has been
higher, according to auction records.
The same buyer bought most of the
Lowry prints at the sale.
Another northern artist performing
well at Capes Dunn was Harold Riley
(b.1934). Mr Perry described the subjects
of two small Riley paintings from a
deceased estate as “very charming”.
They had been in the collection of
a couple (both doctors) who also had
some good quality jewellery sold at the
Manchester saleroom.
They also collected 19th century
porcelain animals bought from London
galleries and auctions which will appear
in a future sale.
First up here was Riley’s
Chimneysweep with cart and dog, a
5 x 7in (13 x 18cm) signed oil on board.
The auctioneers were free to pitch the
works at attractive levels and guided
this one at £2400-2800, adding to the
attractions of its working-class subject
and accompanying dog. It took £8000,
an above-average price for the proliﬁc
artist who has reportedly been buying
back some of his own work in the last
few years. It was also a good price in
light of its size.
The other Riley from the same source
also fared well. Old Lady Behind a Door
was larger at 14½ x 9½in (37 x 24cm).
Another signed oil on board, it came
to auction with the catalogue from the
original exhibition in which it appeared
as well as two photographs of the old
lady herself.
Here an estimate of £3000-4000 led
to a successful bid of £7200.
Web helps Cottees bid for share of Mod Brit market
DORSET auctioneers Cottees (15%
buyer’s premium) ventured into the
modern art market with their latest
sale, featuring works by, among others,
Paul Nash, Fred Yates and Lawrence
Durrell.
The eight lots by Paul Nash
(1889-1946) at the auction in Wareham
on April 14 comprised two works on
paper, two handwritten letters and a
selection of original black and white
photos.
They all came from a vendor whose
family had welcomed Nash as a guest in
Dorset in the 1930s and ‘40s. Becoming
great friends, they often accompanied
the artist as he travelled around the
county sketching and photographing
local sights and monuments which he
later used in his paintings. All eight lots
sold on the day for a hammer total of
£13,080 – six selling to ﬁve different
bidders via the-saleroom.com.
The top prices among the group
came for the two works on paper. One
Left: Whiteleaf Cross, a sketch by Paul Nash
that sold for £5500 at Cottees of Wareham.
“They all came from a
vendor whose family
had welcomed Nash as
a guest in Dorset in the
1930s and ‘40s”
of them, Whiteleaf Cross, was a sketch
from 1931 for his major oil painting of
the same title now in the Whitworth
gallery in Manchester.
They acquired the painting of
Left: Fishing Boats on Beach
by Harbour Wall with Fishing
Nets, Kyrenia, Cyprus by
Lawrence Durrell/Oscar Epfs
– £2200 at Cottees.
the monumental carved chalk cross
overlooking the vale of Aylesbury for
almost £7000 in 1979, but a large
ﬁnished watercolour of the same
subject appeared at Christie’s in June
2007, selling at a premium-inclusive
£38,400 to the Buckinghamshire
County Museum.
The 7 x 10in (17.5 x 25cm) pencil
drawing here was heightened with
crayon and watercolour. It had featured
in a 1935 exhibition at the Redfern
Gallery before Nash gave it to the
vendor’s mother.
Against a £1200-1500 estimate at
Cottees, it attracted eager bidding and
sold at £5500 online as the top lot of
the sale.
The other work on paper by Nash
was a pencil and watercolour entitled
Trees in the Garden at Furzebrook
House, inscribed bottom right “for
Tom and Gillian Souvenir from Paul”.
Estimated at £800-1200, it took £4400
from a different online bidder.
There were 18 lots relating to writer
and artist Lawrence Durrell (1912-90)
– who often signed his work under the
name Oscar Epfs. The pictures, books
and ephemera came from a direct
descendant and made a total of just
over £6000.
Best known for his novels, poems
and travel writing, Durrell’s oil
paintings, watercolours and acrylic
pictures were often exuberantly
coloured, such as the depiction of
ﬁshing boats on the beach at Kyrenia in
Cyprus offered here with a £500-800
estimate.
The 18in ( 46cm) square watercolour
on white board was a (possibly
unﬁnished) preliminary work for a
painting illustrated in Durrell’s book
Spirit of Place, Letters and Essays on
Travel, published in 1969. It sold to an
online bidder at £2200.
Ten of the 18 Durrell lots sold to
online bidders.
Also at the sale were two works by
Fred Yates (1922-2008), which both
sold above estimate. Wellington Clock
Tower, Swanage, a signed oil on board,
took £950, while Swanage Bay with
Boats Moored took £900.

A golden gun shoots
Bond to an auction high
■ Gilt stamp makes the
difference to a 007 rarity
Left: the 1965
ﬁrst of The Man
with the Golden
Gun sold at
$9000 (£6150) by
Heritage, showing
both jacket and
the golden gun
that was quickly
abandoned.
Ian McKay
reports
HOW do you make a killing
when selling a James Bond
ﬁrst edition at auction?
At a Heritage auction of April 8-9, it
all came down to a golden gun – both in
name and style.
A copy of Ian Fleming’s 007 tale The
Man with the Golden Gun, the ninth
Bond book, sold for a record $9000
(£6150) at the US saleroom.
This 1965 ﬁrst had a lot going for it,
even if the jacket was a little faded to the
spine and the book itself slightly skewed.
But what marks it out as something
extra-special is the appearance on the
black boards of a gilt-stamped gun.
This identiﬁes it as a ﬁrst impression,
ﬁrst issue and ﬁrst state copy. All copies
should have born the golden gun, but
by the time close to 1000 copies had
been so bound it was realised that this
was going to be too costly and the gilt
stamping was abandoned.
It was once thought that most such
copies had been pulped but later research
has revealed a different story.
According to Fleming bibliographer
John Gilbert, the ﬁrst copies of a new
title dispatched by the publishers went to
the Commonwealth countries because it
took several weeks by boat to get books
to overseas destinations and they wanted
them to be available as close as possible
to the planned release date. These giltstamped copies, being the ﬁrst printed
– even if technically only a publisher’s trial
binding – served that purpose.
And now, in the absence of any sort of
signature or inscription, they are the most
sought-after copies of this 007 tale.
ANOTHER SPY SALE THRILLER
The auction record for a copy of John Le
Carrés ﬁrst novel, Call for the Dead – the
1961 book that introduced spymaster
George Smiley – has stood at £7000 for
15 years now, set by Sotheby’s.
On April 9, however, Bloomsbury
Auctions got closer than anyone else
has to that level when they sold a
very ﬁne example in the bright yellow
jacket, boldly lettered in red and black,
that instantly distinguish Gollancz
DIMITRIOS DUST JACKET RARITY
Left: sold for £2600 by Bloomsbury Auctions on April 9 was this 1939 ﬁrst of Eric
Ambler’s The Mask of Dimitrios. It is one of his rarer books – especially so in a
dust jacket.
RENDELL WOLF RECORD
Right: Wolf to the Slaughter, the third title in Ruth Rendell’s popular ‘Wexford’
series and notoriously hard to ﬁnd, was also part of the Bloomsbury sale. The
1967 ﬁrst pictured here was also signed by the author and made a record £1000.
THE DIFFERENCE INSCRIPTION MAKES
Sold at Bloomsbury Auctions on April 9, an example of Sylvia Plath’s The Colossus
and other Poems, one of 500 copies of the 1960, ﬁrst edition, was described as
“exceptionally scarce inscription free and in such exceptional condition”. It was
certainly a ﬁne copy and no other straightforward ﬁrst has made more – but a
couple of copies that were inscribed have made much more than the £3200 that
this one reached. One of those inscribed versions, sold for $30,000 (£19,200)
as part of the Rechler library at Christie’s New York in 2002, turned up again
at Sotheby’s London in 2009 to sell at a cut-price £14,000. It was a copy Plath
inscribed on publication for her high-school English teacher, Wilbury Crockett, and
also contained a Christmas card and note to Crocket.
publications. It reached £6000.
A signed 1963 ﬁrst of The Spy who
came in from the Cold that sold to an
online bidder for £1100 in a Cotswold
Auction Company sale of February 3
was one of a group of Le Carré’s books
owned by a friend of the writer. Several
featured extensive, sometimes humorous,
dedications – some of them signed in the
author’s real name, David Cornwell.

Little books for little people fascinate older and bigger buyers
PRANG’S Christmas Stocking Library was issued by the

coloured litho panoramic tales, each folded accordion
style to give a measurement of just 4 x 2½in (10 x 6.5cm).
This rare item, complete in the original box, took
$5500 (£3560) on February 19 as part of the second
portion of the Pamela Harer collection of children’s
books to be offered by PBA Galleries of San Francisco.
That same sum was paid for the Infants Library of

volumes – each 2¾in (7cm) tall – were present in original
boards with paper labels, though mostly rebacked or
otherwise restored. Titles include an ABC, a spelling
primer plus guides to animals, ﬂowers, birds, household
items, etc.
The Infants Library selling price was a doubleestimate one, but The Cabinet of Lilliput estimated at
$4000-6000 changed hands for only $3000 (£2140).
Issued in 1802 by J Harris, this too was complete with
10 volumes of the same size, each containing stories
that aimed to instruct and delight. One or two of them
showed some restoration.
One volume, for example, offered ‘Julia and the
Dog’ and ‘Good Behaviour to Servants’, while another
included ‘The Spoilt Children’, ‘The Disinterested Arab’
and ‘Conceit’.
Also illustrated here are examples from what the
auctioneers claim is the only known or recorded
example of a set of miniature puzzle cards issued c.1800
by Benjamin Baker of Islington, whose label identiﬁes
him as an engraver “near the Thatched House, Lower
Street” and publisher of maps and charts.
The set, which sold for $3250 (£2105) in the PBA sale,
comprises 12 pairs of cards, little more than 1¼in (3.5cm)
high and each bearing one half of an illustration. The
cards are housed in the original full red morocco slipcase.
Tom Possum not so good as Uncle Remus
“FOR Sally Blake from Tom Possum” reads the
inscription in a 1939 ﬁrst of Old Possum’s Book of
Practical Cats that TS Eliot gave to the eight-year-old
daughter of his friend, George Blake – a copy that sold
for £8000 at Bonhams on March 18.
Blake, a Scottish author, journalist and broadcaster,
invited Eliot to his home in Dollar, Scotland, August
1942. Sally Blake (on whose behalf the book was sold)
recalls some consternation and anxiety in the household
at the prospect of the visit of the ‘important man’, this
famous writer and director of her father’s publisher,
Faber & Faber.
Knowing that Blake had a young daughter, Eliot
brought along this inscribed copy of ...Practical Cats and
also spent some time reading to her, but rather than his
own poems, he chose instead the Uncle Remus stories of
Joel Chandler Harris.
Unfortunately, he also chose to adopt a Deep South
accent that probably sounded entirely foreign, and
perhaps a little frightening to young Scottish ears and
Sally was unsettled to the point of tears. Looking back
after all these years, she wonders if the poet put the
enjoyment of his own performance above the sensibilities
of his young listener.
The American Alice view
Right: this year marks the 150th anniversary of the
publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and it has
already brought new books about its creator, as well as TV
and radio coverage. At auction, on April 13 Bonhams New
York offered an original watercolour drawing of Alice the
Queen of Hearts that, although it bears the famous words
“Off with her Head!”, presents not the familiar artwork of
John Tenniel but that of Peter Newell. One of the USA’s more
successful comic artists and illustrators, Newell was the ﬁrst
major illustrator after Tenniel to tackle this famous book,
commissioned by Harpers for a new ‘gift’ edition published
in New York in 1901. Acknowledging the fame of Tenniel’s
illustrations, Newell wrote: “It may appear presumptuous
therefore on my part to attempt to portray what Alice means
to me. But the kindness with which the public has received my other work... has inspired the hope in
me that this more serious effort will not be altogether unwelcome.” Pictured here is Newell’s version
of a haughty and indignant Alice and the impassioned Queen, which sold for $8500 (£5805).

April 9 it realised £5500.
It is not often that the opportunity
arises to include two items featuring
giraffes in the same report, and it may
never happen again – so to Heath
Robinson’s poor creatures, stumbling
tangle-legged into straw covered
pits, I can here add the giraffe, or
‘Cameleopard’ as it was once known,
shown above right.
It is one of 48 woodcuts of animals
in a rare Picture Book of Beasts, British
and Foreign... issued by William Darton
in 1822.
In old full red morocco, this little
children’s introduction to natural history
subjects, just under 3in (7.5cm) tall,
made $3500 (£2265) in a PBA Galleries
sale of February 19 containing a second
portion of the Pamela Harer collection of
children’s books.
Other items from the Harer sale
feature on page 29.

Lost World ﬁnds a big buyer
EAST Bristol Auctions do not handle
books regularly, but on December 8
the 30 or so Arthur Conan Doyle lots
offered at the end of a long day aroused
a great deal of interest and very modest
estimates were frequently surpassed.
Valued at £80-120 but sold for £3000,
for example, was a copy of his famous
Prof Challenger story, The Lost World. It
was described as a 1914 ‘New Edition’
in brown cloth (right) and, I am told,
retained what I imagine is a rare dust
jacket that repeated the footprint design.*
Sherlock Holmes stories were present
in both collected book form and as
originally published in original weekly
editions of Strand Magazine. The latter
included one lot of 10 issues of the
1920s, among them a March 1923
issue that saw the ﬁrst appearance of
‘The Adventure of the Creeping Man’,
that sold at £1900. Another of just ﬁve
weekly editions, among them the March
and April 1911 editions containing ‘The
Adventures of the Red Circle’, reached
£1500.
A letter in Conan Doyle’s hand,
reading in part, “Dear Sir, There will not
be any difﬁculties in The Hound of the
‘B’”, was sold at £1700.
In November 1896, Edinburgh
University held a ‘Bazaar’ to raise money
for new sports pavilion and to mark the
occasion produced a special issue of the
university magazine, The Student...
Contributions included ‘The Field
Bazaar’, a short story by one of their
better-known alumni that was the ﬁrst
Holmes story published following the
detective’s apparent demise at the
Reichenbach Falls and the author’s
decision, following pressure from his
publisher and the public, to bring him
back to life. In original red cloth, a copy
offered by Lyon & Turnbull on January
28 was sold for £2250.
A few days earlier, on January 22,
Derbyshire saleroom Hansons had taken
£2100 for a red leather bound set of
the 12 vol, 1903 ‘Author’s Edition’ of
the works of Conan Doyle. Presented by
Sir Arthur and Lady Conan Doyle to an
unknown recipient, it contained a tipped-
$ERYH The Lost World from 1914 – £3000 at
East Bristol Auctions.
in note signed by both in September
1917 and bearing the words “with every
possible good wish”.
A copy of After Death What? (1909)
by Cesare Lombroso that the illusionist,
and escapologist Harry Houdini inscribed
and presented “To my friend Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle...” in 1920 made £3600 in a
December 2 sale held by C&T auctioneers
of Rochester. Conan Doyle added his
own signature and the note “One of the
Classics on the subject” to the title page.
Both men were interested in spiritualism
and the after life, but later fell out over
their differences.
Letters and manuscript material sold
by Swann of New York on March 19
included two autograph manuscripts
of short stories ﬁrst published in Strand
Magazine. The 8pp manuscript of ‘The
Nightmare Room’ of December 1921
made $9000 (£6100) and an 11pp
manuscript for ‘The Parish Magazine’ of
August 1930 reached $8000 (£5425).
* In 2013, a stunning and exceptionally
rare copy of the 1912 ﬁrst of The Lost
World in a jacket that features a striking
image of a bearded Conan Doyle as Prof
Challenger was sold for $19,000 (then
£12,285) by Swann.

Chinese hunt for hardwood
■ Stools and table returning to
market after 19 years chart rise
in value of this type of furniture
Anne Crane
reports
£1 = €1.30/$1.42
MING and Qing hardwood
furniture is on a roll as one
of the strongest ﬁelds in the
already solidly performing
Chinese art market.
What could be more telling than the
set of four huanghuali armchairs pictured
in ATG No 2184 which sold for $8.5m
(£6m) in March at Christie’s New York?
They led the huge six-sale dispersal of
the collection of the highly regarded US
scholar/dealer/collector Robert Ellsworth.
So when auctioneers Quinn &
Farmer (18% buyer’s premium) of
Charlottesville, Virginia, offered two lots
of late 17th/early 18th century Chinese
hardwood furniture in their April 18
auction that had been acquired at
Christie’s 19 years ago, they were fairly
conﬁdent that the purchase prices would
be comfortably exceeded.
Not only were they bought when the
market was beginning to rise, but both
lots had a good earlier provenance too:
they formed part of Christie’s singleowner sale of furniture from the Museum
of Chinese Classical furniture in their
September 1996 Asian sale series in New
York.
One, a pair of huanghuali stools,
had then cost $60,000. The other was
a 3ft 2in (97cm) wide low table made
from zitan carved with dragons chasing

Quinn & Farmer.
ﬂaming pearls along the apron, which
sold at $45,000 in the same sale.
This time, estimates were $100,000150,000 for the stools and $60,00070,000 for the table – guides which
Quinn & Farmer’s vice president Stephen
Usry felt were “reasonable but signiﬁcant
enough to entice”.
The former were featured in our presale preview in ATG No 2187 and both
lots were advertised in ATG two weeks
before.
The auctioneers said that when the
coverage broke the phones immediately
started ringing with inquiries about them.
Multiple in-house bidders as well as
four phone bidders from China contested
the stools, which ended up selling for
$380,000 (£267,605) to one of the
Chinese bidders. Another bid $210,000
(£147,890) for the low table. It all added
up to a very decent return for the central
Virginia consignor whose property made
up 80% of this 180-lot auction.
“Ironically, the underbidder, (on the
table) a New York dealer, had owned
the table many years ago,” said Mr Usry.
He explained that the dealer had sold it
to the museum that deaccessioned at
Christie’s in 1996.
Chinese artefacts were not the only
high-ﬂyers in the auction, however. A
classic piece of quality 18th century
English rococo mahogany with an
unassuming estimate also had phones
ringing off the hook.
The piece in question, also shown
here, was a 3ft 9in (1.1m) wide
serpentine-fronted Georgian Chippendale
style commode ﬁtted with four
graduated drawers, another purchase
made at Christie’s in 1996 and here
modestly guided at $3000-4000.
The acanthus and pendant sprays
carved to the volutes on the angles and
the feet, and the ﬁnely ﬁtted interior
to the top drawer set under a green
baize slide, all testiﬁed to the quality of
its cabinetmaking. More importantly,
Impressive provenances propel
AUGUSTE Rodin’s bronzes are always
popular whenever they appear at
auction.
The latest high-ﬂyers from the rostrum
in France were two well-provenanced
bronzes that appeared at auction in Paris
and Rouen within the space of ﬁve days.
First off was the 8½ x 11½ x 15in (22
x 29 x 39cm) Danaide that featured in
a small 194-lot sale of Contemporary
and modern art held by Blanchet et
Associés (26% buyer’s premium) at
Drouot on April 15.
The signed bronze of a woman curled
over rocks is the smaller of three versions
of this subject produced by the sculptor
and is distinguished by the treatment of
the rocks and the base. It was conceived
in 1885 and Blanchet’s version, which
is probably a cast by the François Rudier
foundry, is datable to 1895-98 according
to the Rodin Committee who examined
the work.
This work had the bonus of a notable
provenance having come from the
descendants of M Jules Ricome, a wine
merchant in Algeria who probably
acquired it around 1898.
The Rodin archives have various
examples of correspondence between
Rodin and Ricome detailing purchases
made between 1898 and 1906, although
there is no speciﬁc mention of a Danaide.
Blanchet offered it with an estimate
Antiques Trade Gazette
in Virginia
Above: while it was a Chinese carved rhino horn libation cup that took the €52,000 (£40,000) top
price in Auction Art’s (24% buyer’s premium) April 16 sale at Drouot, the rest of the sale was
devoted entirely to Japanese material. Most of the 300-odd lots offered took the form of small-scale
creations (netsuke, inro, okimono and kizerutzustu) by master craftsmen of the Edo (1603-1868)
and Meiji (1868-1912) periods. Demand for Japanese art, once much contested by the home nation,
Americans and Europeans, is not as bullish as it was back in the 1980s and ‘90s before the Japanese
economy softened but there have been some signs of green shoots emerging. At Auction Art this
unsigned Edo period ivory netsuke carved as an octopus with the tentacles curved back onto the
body with inset horn eyes, was one of the more sought-after entries, making €12,500 (£9615).
several London dealers had spotted
characteristics that identiﬁed it as the
work of a speciﬁc maker: William Gomm.
He was a contemporary of
Chippendale and the eldest member of
a Clerkenwell cabinetmaking dynasty
whose furniture only appears on the
market rarely. Gomm’s work was
indeed inﬂuenced by the designs in
Chippendale’s Director and some of his
own designs are now at the Winterthur
Museum in Delaware. An attribution
always adds value and the competition
for this piece between three phone
bidders, all British dealers, resulted in a
lengthy contest that took the ﬁnal price
to $65,000 (£45,775).
Gomm’s most substantial known
commission in 1764 was from Edward,
5th Lord Leigh, to supply a large quantity
of furniture for Stoneleigh Abbey,
Warwickshire, which included 183
assorted chairs, dressing tables, four
Pembroke tables, clothes presses and
a commode dressing table. Christie’s
have sold three of the Pembroke tables
including one that made a premiuminclusive £26,900 in 2007.
Rodin to high prices in France
of €150,000-200,000 but it ended up
selling for more than double that ﬁgure
at €470,000 (£361,540).
Four days later, Rouen’s Normandy
Auction (25.2% buyer’s premium)
offered an 18½in (47cm) high bronze
reduction of Jean d’Aire.
This was one of the ﬁgures in the
sculptor’s famous group of the burghers
of Calais commissioned by the town in
1885.
Reductions were produced from 1895
onwards, proving popular during Rodin’s
life and afterwards.
Normandy Auctions’ version, which
carried Rodin’s signature cast to the
base and the stamp of the Alexis
Rudier Foundry, probably dated from
between 1910-17 according to the Rodin
Committee.
Like Blanchet’s bronze, it will be
appearing in the forthcoming catalogue
raisonné of Rodin’s sculpture.
The Jean d’Aire came with a
provenance to Alphonse Kahn of Saint
Germain en Laye.
It was restituted to his descendants in
July 1946 following conﬁscation in 1940
and entered a private collection in the
1950s from whence it had passed down
by descent to the vendor.
Offered with an estimate of €100,000150,000, it ended up selling for
€260,000 (£200,000) .

auction house
owner Pierre
Bergé is selling
his personal
library over
the next three
years, starting
with a sale
in Paris on
December 11.
Saleroom founder Bergé
to sell book collection
ONE of the most comprehensive
personal libraries ever assembled will be
sold in a series of auctions over the next
three years.
The ﬁrst section of the Pierre Bergé
collection, which contains 1600 books,
manuscripts dating from the 15th to
the 20th centuries and musical scores,
will be sold in Paris on December
11 at the Hôtel Drouot, by Pierre
Bergé & Associés in association with
Sotheby’s.
Antoine Godeau, vice-president of
Pierre Bergé & Associés founded in
2002, will be on the rostrum.
This ﬁrst sale will offer a selection
of over 150 lots, ranging from the
ﬁrst edition of Saint Augustine’s
Confessions, printed in Strasbourg
c.1470, to William Burroughs’ Scrap
Book 3, published in 1979.
Thematic sales will follow in 2016
and 2017 featuring literary works – the
long-hidden core of the collection –
but also books on botany, gardening,
music and the exploration of major
philosophical and political themes.
A Pierre Bergé & Associés
spokeswoman said: “Pierre Bergé’s
library reﬂects the course of a singular
life. As a young man captivated by
literature, he left La Rochelle just
before taking his Baccalaureate exams,
impatient to write the novel of his life.
“Initially guided by writers who were
both mentors and friends, including
Pierre Mac Orlan, Jean Cocteau
and Jean Giono, he worked as an
antiquarian book dealer, and gradually
developed a passion for collecting. No
longer merely a reader but a bibliophile,
he developed a keen interest in both
texts and the quality of books.”
One particular literary friendship that
marked Bergé’s collecting was with
Jean Cocteau and the December 11
sale includes several lots linked to the
multi-talented writer. A 1962 ﬁrst of
Requiem, Cocteau’s poetic testament,
bears an autograph inscription to his
friend: “My dear Pierre, I know we all
have our crosses to bear, and mine
is a heavy one. I send you this river
into which we spit. I send it to you in
one of the blue copies, to express my
affection. Jean.”
In February 2009 Christie’s and
Pierre Bergé & Associés jointly staged
the landmark three-day Paris sale of the
collection put together by Bergé and his
partner Yves Saint Laurent.
The event, held in the Grand Palais,
offered more than 700 lots from the
combined contents of St Laurent’s and
Bergé’s respective apartments in the
Rue Babylone and Rue Bonaparte. It
still holds the record for the highest
total for any single-owner collection at
€373.9m (£332.8m).

Right: Artcurial chalked up one or two substantial
prices for provincial Indian miniatures when they offered
the ﬁrst part of the collection of Françoise and Claude
Bourelier last November and they are hoping for a similar
outcome when they offer the second instalment of
pre-Columbian art, antiquities, Islamic and other near
eastern and south-east Asian works of art on May 11
and 12. A potential high-ﬂyer is this late 18th century
gouache from the Pahari state of Guler. It depicts a scene
from the Ramayama epic showing Vibishana and the
army of bears and monkeys coming to the aid of Rama.
The work is guided at €20,000-30,000.

Saint Moritz Gallery Steiner to a private
collector and has never since been seen

Left: two newly discovered paintings by the Belgian artist James Ensor 18601949 feature in Doyle’s May 5 sale of Impressionist and Modern art. Both
works are highlights from the collection of Cecilia and Wiilem Schupf, originally
from Belgium, who managed an international diamond enterprise and moved
to New York in the 1930s. They have passed down by direct descent through
the family. Composition with Masks and weeping Angel in oil on canvas with
crayon, measuring 21in x 2ft 1in (54 x 65cm), dates from c.1930 and features
many of Ensor’s characteristic motifs in his oeuvre such as masks and religious
imagery. It is estimated at $200,000-400,000. The other Ensor is a smaller
pastel on paper of c.1933 measuring 8 x 11¼in (20 x 28cm). Titled Vierge et
Mondaine, it depicts familiar objects from his attic studio grouped in a friezelike still life arrangement. It is guided at $15,000-25,000.

of the world’s most famous (and famously expensive) perfumes, was
also an avid collector of Old Master paintings, books and works of art.
Pieces from his private collection, preserved by his family, will be offered
by Pierre Bergé & Associés on May 22 at Drouot in Paris. The sale
features books and manuscripts, in particular a group of letters relating
to Lafayette and his brother-in-law the Vicomte de Nouailles, plus works
of art and furniture designed by the famous Art Deco partnership Sue
et Mare. There will also, not surprisingly, be a selection of his couture
creations, anything from evening gowns to sports outﬁts and sweaters.
Perfume, an equally important strand of Patou’s career, is represented
by a selection of perfume bottles including some also designed by
Sue et Mare. Among them is this glass-stoppered steel bottle for the
perfume Normandie, named after the celebrated Art Deco transatlantic
ocean liner, with its orginal box. Designed by Louis Sue, these bottles
were presented to the Normandie’s ﬁrst-jclass passengers on the liner’s
maiden voyage. The estimate is €7000-10,000.

Country houses bring a
better quality of car boot
■ Cumbrian stately home event
includes stalls by invitation only
and stock likely to be classier
Left: the 13th century Sizergh Castle in Cumbria
is the backdrop for a historic house car boot on
Saturday, May 9, held in aid of the Red Cross.
Joan Porter
reports
With talk of the gentry turning out
their cellars and attics for these events,
every likelihood is that the stock at these
events, largely held to raise money for
charity, is likely to be, well, classier and
better connected than average.
The annual historic house car boot at
Sizergh Castle, near Kendal in Cumbria, is
one such event, with an added twist that
the 50 stallholders are by invitation only.
The imposing medieval castle was
National Trust
CAR boot sales come in many
forms, often held in car parks,
school playgrounds, backs
of garages and old airﬁelds,
but none are so grand as the
stately home version.
given to the National Trust in 1950 and
is still lived in by the Strickland family,
residents for seven centuries.
Janey Horney-Strickland, president
of the Red Cross in Cumbria, has
organised this event for the past ﬁve
years, raising more than £20,000 in pitch
and entry fees.
Laid out in three courtyards at the
castle on Saturday, May 9, will be
costume jewellery, vintage trunks, rugs,
rackets, furniture, dolls’ houses, curtains
from vast manorial windows and, this
year, antique and vintage garden pieces
including statuary.
Sizergh Castle is ten minutes from the
M6 exit 36. Admission is £5, strictly from
10am, no early entry for trade.
Contact Alison Whittaker Stewart of
the Red Cross for more information on
07738 944551.

BOOTING IN WILTSHIRE
THE Stert Country House
Car Boot is an annual event
attracting around 120
stallholders and is in aid of
Cancer Research UK.
These packed-out car boots
at Manor Farm just outside the
village of Stert, near Devizes in
Wiltshire, have been going for
ﬁve years and raise between
£4000 and £5500 each time
for the charity, said Sue Tovey,
of the Devizes branch of the
charity. She added: “The sale is
called a country house car boot
because the items on sale are
of good quality, i.e. country
house-type quality.”
For stall bookings for this
year’s event, on Saturday, May
16, contact Mel on
07467 171939.

Dip into your pockets for lido line-up
Above: a street market in Tisbury, Wiltshire. A similar scene, involving antiques
this time, is expected on May 4 as part of the Great Tisbury Brocante.
Streets are alive with brocante sound
THE Wiltshire village of Tisbury is having a major antiques makeover
on May 4.
It will be transformed with 20 antiques and vintage dealers in the
village hall, a giant ﬂeamarket on the recreation ground, an antiques
street market in the high street, and villagers tasked with turning
out their lofts to sell the contents in their drives and front gardens.
This Bank Holiday Monday Great Tisbury Brocante is the
brainchild of villager Janet Amos, who was inspired to organise
it by all the brocantes she has visited in France. The three antiques
shops in the village are expecting a rush of visitors and Antiques
Roadshow expert Marc Allum will giveg a talk, as will theatre and
costume designer Clancy Steer.

Right: back for its eighth year is Moses Otunia’s two-day
Modern Movement Design Fair held in an unusual setting –
outside the Art Deco Grade II-listed Brockwell Park Lido in
Herne Hill, one of London’s few remaining outdoor swimming
pools. Known locally as ‘Brixton’s Beach’, this is a good example
of the pulling power of community action. The lido was closed
by Lambeth Council in 1990 but reopened as a private venture
in 1994. Moses, owner of mid-century furniture dealers Bleu,
also in Herne Hill, said: “I wanted to link furniture design with
architecture and looked for interesting buildings to link the two.
A chance meeting with the lido’s art co-ordinator saw it all
come together.” Dealers in mid-century will group together on
Saturday and Sunday, May 2-3, around one end of the pool, as
our picture shows, to sell furniture, glass, ceramics and posters.

Refurb moves Beaconsﬁeld fairs to Maidenhead
RENOVATION work at the Bellhouse Hotel in Beaconsﬁeld is over-running so the longstanding
monthly Sunday antiques fairs held there by Kevin and Terry Leigh as Midas Fairs have relocated
to the Holiday Inn in Maidenhead for the months of May, June and July. Kevin said: “We had been
hoping to return to the Bellhouse in either April or May but the hotel is still in mid-refurbishment
with no date as to when the fair can return.” He added: “All 50 of our stallholders from the
Bellhouse fair are coming to the Holiday Inn Maidenhead on the fair dates of May 10, June 14 and
July 12.”

Hilary Emeny of Books Illustrated selling original artists’ illustrations.
This fair has not been known for such art in the past so these bookings are
encouraging, both for buyers and sellers.
Granta owner Ruth Cope, who stood at the fair in March, said: “We’re taking a
wide range of works from £200 to the low thousands. The customers we have already
met at this fair are well informed about 20th century art.”

Above: Banksy lovers and collectors of uncirculated prints can head for art dealer Oliver
Clatworthy’s stand at IACF Alexandra Palace on Sunday, May 3. This 2002 print priced at £350
was originally commissioned from the artist by Greenpeace as part of their Save or Delete campaign
to highlight the problems of global deforestation. Featuring some of the main characters in Disney
ﬁlm The Jungle Book, they are lined up in front of an executioner and transposed onto an image of
a devastated forest. This was printed but never put into circulation because of copyright issues with
the Disney Corporation. The original sold for £78,000 at Bonhams in 2011. Contemporary art prints
priced from £100-5000 will also be offered by Oliver.

AROUND THE AUCTION HOUSES

views of
Duke’s new
salerooms
and ofﬁces
next to
Brewery
Square in
Dorchester.
Duke’s ﬁnd out-of-town solution in a town-centre location
WHEN Duke’s ﬁrst unveiled their plans
for a new saleroom they said they
had been searching for a decade to
complement their existing operations.
In the event, they found them just
across the road.
And the Dorchester auctioneers are
delighted by their new premises, which
they have just moved into, providing
beneﬁts such as extra parking and
ground-ﬂoor showcase space.
The fresh auction complex is in a
former ofﬁce building called Pullman
Court, next to the Brewery Square
development in the Dorset town. Their
Grove Auctions saleroom further to
the north of the town has closed and
that side of things is rebranded Avenue
Auctions, based in Duke’s existing
Weymouth Avenue branch, a stone’s
throw from the new premises.
Duke’s were slightly delayed in moving –
they aimed for February – but, as specialist
Amy Brenan points out, they wanted to be
sure everything was right for the big move,
which keeps the auction house right in the
heart of town but with the advantages that
an out-of-town location typically enjoys. “It
is even better than envisaged,” she says.
“Our architects had come out with these
lovely 3D designs, showing what it would
be like. The outside is pretty much true to
form but the inside is a million times better
than we imagined.
“Our old premises date from way back
in the 19th century. Now we’ve gone
from that environment right through to a
brand-new, state of the art three-storey
building as opposed to the one small room
we had before. It’s completely different.”
A permanent gallery space occupies
the ground ﬂoor to host exhibitions and
show items coming up at future auctions.
The ﬁrst ﬂoor has two gallery spaces,
both with “lots of lovely big windows
and fantastic light”, says Brenan. The
top ﬂoor hosts a large exhibition space
forming the main saleroom and rostrum.
The extra space has transformed the
working environment for Duke’s staff,
adds Brenan. In smaller ofﬁces such
facilities as a separate payments counter
are often not feasible – the one at Duke’s
used to be in the reception area, making
it awkward to move around, but now the
top ﬂoor has a payments area of its own,
freeing up space downstairs.
Three ﬂoors may take a bit of getting
used to, however. “Because the building
is so big it is difﬁcult to keep in touch
with what’s happening on the top ﬂoor,”
says Brenan, “so we’ve installed big
screens on the ground ﬂoor so people
can see the auctions.”
She adds that Brewery Square has
revitalised this part of the county town of
Dorchester with restaurants, hotel, shops
and a cinema.
As always when salerooms move to
larger premises, specialist sale formats
come to the fore. Brenan adds: “At the
beginning of this year we knew we
would be moving so stuck to the original
calendar, but now we have so much
more space we can have have more a
varied sale calendar. This year we have
already established our coin and medal
and militaria department under Tim
Medhurst; before we didn’t have enough
space to accommodate that.
“This has deﬁnitely opened up options
for us and we will be doing much more
of these things as time goes on.”
A sale of Star Wars memorabilia is
envisaged as part of this (the latest ﬁlm is
released in December). Three ﬂoors? The
Force is with Duke’s.

Lyon & Turnbull back the Burrell ahead of big refurbishment
EDINBURGH and Glasgow do not always enjoy the best
of relations, but a saleroom from the east is helping a
world-renowned art museum from the west ahead of a
major planned refurbishment.
Lyon & Turnbull are backing The Burrell Collection,
which has won approval from the city council for a
redevelopment which would close the museum from
2016-19 if enough funding is secured.
This weekend (April 25-26), the auction house run
two days of activities – China Insight – in collaboration
with the institution focusing on Chinese art, and
proceeds will be donated to Glasgow Museums,
particularly the Burrell.
Saturday features specialist lectures and guided
gallery tours, while on Sunday L&T run a valuation day at
the site in Pollok Country Park.
The Museums Association (MA) reports that the
Burrell redevelopment will cost from £60m-66m.
It involves opening up the basement stores to the
public for the ﬁrst time, allowing more than 90% of the
9000-strong collection to go on display. The city council
has been asked to fund 50% of the cost with a £15m
Heritage Lottery Fund bid, fundraising and public grants
to cover the rest. The council approved an initial £5m
investment to start the project.
The MA adds that during the closure some Burrell
objects will go on display at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and
Museum in Glasgow and there will be an international
tour. It notes that in November 2013 “a Scottish
parliamentary committee endorsed a bill to overturn a
condition of the bequest that the collection should not
leave the country. The bill was passed on January 21,
2014, and received royal assent the following month”.
Sir William Burrell (1861-1958), who made his money
in shipping, assembled his collection of antiquities,
objects, tapestries and paintings over 80 years to create
one of the greatest art collections in the world.
In 1944 Sir William and his wife, Constance gifted
the collection to the city of Glasgow. Its present home
opened in 1983.
On Saturday, China Insight includes Jacqueline
Simcox, published author and world authority on
Chinese textiles, who will speak on Chinese Imperial and
court costume, and Nixi Cura, co-founder of the Arts of
China Consortium at New York University and Honorary
Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow, speaking
on Chinese painting.
Lee Young, head of the Asian art department at L&T,
and Dr Yupin Chung, curator of Chinese & Far Eastern
Civilisations at The Burrell Collection, will also represent
their respective institutions on stage.
There will also be an opportunity to win a one-off
guided tour of the Burrell Collection stores with
Dr Chung.
There are 12 places to be won (everyone buying a
£10 ticket for Saturday will automatically be entered
into the draw, with 12 winners announced at 11am that
morning and the tour taking place at 4pm).

Black tie suits
bidders for
Bonhams cars
HORSEPOWER new and old features in
Bonhams’ debut sale at a stylish event
in France.
They have announced the new
Chantilly Sale, their inaugural auction as
part of the second edition of Chantilly
Arts & Elegance Richard Mille.
A black-tie evening sale on September
5 will form Bonhams’ second dedicated
motoring sale for France, taking place at
the country’s top Concours event.
Hosted in the grounds of Château
de Chantilly, the Arts & Elegance event
started in 2014, attracting a crowd of
around 10,000 spectators, taking in the
Concourse d’Elegance competition for
modern concept cars and a Concourse
d’Etat for classic cars from around the
world. Art & Elegance also plays host
to ﬁne art exhibitions, many equestrian
activities, fashion shows, live music
and various lifestyle exhibits, all on the
grounds of the château.

Above: Fellows’ inaugural ‘The Watch Sale’ launched on April
20 with a healthy 93% sale rate. Until now, the Birmingham
auctioneers held a specialist wristwatch sale and a specialist
pocket watch sale every quarter. These two are now joined
together to form this monthly sale. Stephen Whittaker, Fellows
managing director, says: “The ﬁrst of our Watch Sales launched
with an excellent hammer total of just under £380,000 which is
signiﬁcantly above the estimate for the auction. This proves that
with clear cataloguing, sensible estimates, detailed descriptions
and high-quality images each monthly Watch Sale is on track to be
a huge success.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Brush up on the roos of the world
SIR – I read with interest your front-page article on
‘The rare roos pulled from a pouch’ (ATG No 2186).
I live in Tasmania (Van Diemen’s Land) and have
written a book on Australian silver.
Please ﬁnd attached an illustration of the Dunn
Testimonial, from The Illustrated London News of
November 18, 1856, page 467. The animals have
been engraved from a photograph and are therefore
shown here in reverse. The one we need to ﬁnd
is the ‘wolf dog’, the now extinct thylacine better
known as the Tasmanian Tiger.
Below is the contemporary description for the
beneﬁt of your readers – which as a point of interest
refers to eight salt-cellars.
Let the roo hunting begin.
John Hawkins
Via email
THE DUNN TESTIMONIAL
This superb testimonial has been presented to
the late Director of the Commercial Bank, Van
Diemen’s Land. The several designs afford a
proof of the advance in art as regards silver
work, and of the happy adaptation of ideas in
connection with the scene of the form labours of
him to whom this present is made.
The gift is a very beautiful silver service
of twenty pieces – viz, an epergne, two feet
two inches in height, the open stem of which,
moulded from the branch of an Australian plant,
bends over an allegorical ﬁgure of Commerce
who leans upon a rudder. At each corner of the
triangular base native animals of Van Diemen’s Land – the
kangaroo, the emu and the wolf-dog – are placed with great
judgement and are modelled with knowledge and taste.
These indigenous animals also form the chief ornament of
eight very handsome salt-cellars; the other pieces of the
service being two candelabra, two feet high; a soup-tureen,
a ﬁsh-dish, a venison-dish, two entrée dishes and four corner
dishes with covers. The inscription runs thus:
Presented at a general meeting of the proprietors of
Commercial Bank Stock, Hobart Town, Van Diemen’s Land, to
JOHN DUNN, Senior, Esq. on the occasion of his retirement
from the Managership, in appreciation of the great ability,
zeal, integrity, and success which distinguished his tenure
of ofﬁce for a period of twenty six years, and in token of the
sincere respect for his private worth.
The value of the testimonial is £1000; and it is executed
with that taste and excellence which distinguish the ﬁrm of
Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, of New Bond-street.
Above: the Dunn Testimonial mentioned in the letter by John
Hawkins, and, left, the 5in (12cm) high pair of Victorian salts in the
form of kangaroos made by Bond Street silversmiths Hunt & Roskell
sold for £18,000 (plus 18% buyer’s premium) at Catherine Southon’s

out in chapter one that
sealed bottles are those
with moulded glass seals,
generally circular in form
and carrying heraldry,
names, dates, initials
and place names. He
notes that some recent
attendees at his lectures –
understanding ‘sealed’ to
mean unopened – were a
little disappointed not to
hear popping corks and
be offered some ancient
vintages to sample.
DAVID Burton, a retired city
merchant banker who lives
in Kent, still recalls the day
in December 1975 when, as
a young man attending the
viewing of a Christie’s ﬁne
wine auction, he “rather fell
in love” with a lop-sided
‘black’ glass bottle – its seal
reading J Meardon Taviftock
1780.
He bought it for £130 and quickly
immersed himself in the subject, spending
many hours of a summer holiday in
Cornwall the following year in repeated
visits to an exhibition titled The English
Glass Bottle held at the County Museum
in Truro.
In a seemingly narrow ﬁeld where
literature was thin on the ground,
knowledge was hard to come by (when
Sheelah Ruggles-Brise penned her
pioneering book Sealed Bottles in 1949
she conducted much of her research by
writing letters to Country Life and The
Times).
Before the age of digital photography
and the internet search engine – tools
that would change bottle collecting
almost overnight two decades later –
Burton scoured museum collections for
broken and intact examples, often ﬁnding
important bottles stored below stairs and
without the proper cataloguing he was
happy to provide in return for access.
Most surviving early bottles are
unadorned. Those with seals, even the
glass fragments occasionally washed up
in the mud of Britain’s major waterways,
provide a touchstone: the key to unlocking
not just the date of the object but,
through initials, names and heraldry,
the original well-to-do owner who
commissioned it.
A simple impressed glass medallion,
recorded by a pencil rubbing or as a
plaster cast, could prompt hours of fruitful
genealogical research. Sealed bottles are
among the very few domestic items from
the 17th and 18th century that allow us
to know with any certainly where they
were used and by whom. Each bottle has
its own story to tell of a social climber,
a crooked London tavern owner or the
cellars of an Oxford college.
As a collector through the 1980s,
Burton began to reﬁne his holdings –

replacing some of the later and more
easily available bottles in his collection
with the earlier pieces that have become
the focus of serious international
attention. But, as a glass collector
interested in social history, he embarked
on a task, last undertaken in the 1940s,
to record every known seal from four
centuries of English bottle-making and
research its origins whenever possible.
The working title of this book would be
Antique Sealed Bottles 1640-1900 and the
families who owned them.
Fast forward several decades and
in February this year Burton (we had
ﬁrst corresponded on the subject of his
magnum opus in 2011 when the ATG
reported the sale of two 18th century
sealed bottles at Rudd’s in South Africa)
arrived at ATG headquarters in Southwark,
London, suitcase in tow.
I guessed he’d brought an overnight
bag but no. A four-wheel cabin suitcase is
the only way to comfortably transport his
ﬁnally completed work: three hardback
volumes and a slip case tipping the
scales at 13kg. It might just be the most
important piece of glass scholarship
published in years.
One statistic puts the author’s
1740-page achievement in some sort
of perspective. In 1949 there were
approximately 940 seals recorded by
Sheelagh, Lady Ruggles-Brise, with Roger
Dumbrell adding a further 520 seals to the
list with the publication of Understanding
Antique Wine Bottles in 1983.
The new encyclopaedia has increased
“A four-wheel cabin
suitcase is the only way
to comfortably transport
the completed work: three
hardback volumes and case
tipping the scales at 13kg”
the number by a further 3269 seals
(bringing the total to 4729) and this
excludes those brieﬂy mentioned in two
appendices titled A selection of Foreign
Bottles and Detached Seals and Late
Additions, amendments, images and sale
prices up to September 2012. Burton
already has more to add: as he embarks
on a series of lectures in the UK and the
US a folder of newly-discovered examples
found after the publishing deadline
becomes ever thicker. “My next effort will
be a single volume, I promise,” he quips.
The three volumes of Antique Sealed
Bottles splits the subject neatly. The ﬁrst
volume titled History and Social Context
examines the evolution of the sealed
bottle shapes from the 1640s to the
1800s, the early glasshouses involved in
their manufacture and the clientele for
whom decanting wine from the cask into
a personalised bottle for use at a table
was both desirable and affordable.
Alongside detailed technical data
(gauge, capacity etc) the pictorial study
of bottle types is invaluable, moving in
countless colour images from the shaft
and globe (c.1630-75) through transitional

bottles (1670-90), the onion (1680-1720),
the bladder (1715-40), the mallet
(1715-50) and ﬁnally to the various forms
of the cylinder bottle that (with the ‘death’
of the decanter) is again in table-top use
today.
Who owned these bottles is a key
question collectors like to ask and
countless hours of research (undertaken
with the aid of the late Christopher
Mortimer) has provided many answers.
In the following two volumes all known
sealed bottles (most of them English
but some found on distant shores) are
considered, with each entry afforded
a description, the number of examples
known, their condition and their
provenance.
Burton describes himself as a collector
ﬁrst and an academic second. A keen
knowledge of the market is betrayed
by the inclusion whenever possible of
auction data from salerooms large and
small, specialist and general, across the
globe. They include the spectacular UK
regional ﬁnds of recent years such as the
transitional bottle c.1670 sold by Bearnes
Hampton & Littlewood in Exeter in July
2010 for £14,500 – an example Burton has
traced to the Nottinghamshire family of Sir
Gervase Clifton (1612-76).

Bossche – and the Suffolk ﬁrm must be
congratulated in their support for a labour
of love such as this edition limited to 1500
copies. It is selling well.
Priced at £250/$495 (see below), it
doubtless represents a signiﬁcant outlay
but one that serious bottle collectors –
aware that a deciphered seal engraving
unlocks signiﬁcant monetary value – will
deem worthwhile. There are auctioneers
too who, keen to give their vendors and
buyers a comprehensive catalogue, are
already employing the author’s services
when they happen upon an early bottle.
The ﬁnal word goes to one of them,
Bonhams director Simon Cottle, who
provides the foreword to Antique Sealed
Bottles:“It will undoubtedly be the
leading and established work of reference
to which collectors, social historians,
genealogists and connoisseurs of wine will
turn from this point onwards.”

THE former owner of Sotheby’s, A Alfred
Taubman – and central ﬁgure in the
auction price-ﬁxing scandal – has died
aged 91.
A self-made billionaire from Michigan
whose fortune came from shopping
malls, real estate and root beer, Taubman
purchased the auction house in 1983.
He acquired Sotheby’s for a reported
$125m at a time when the company was
loss-making and struggling ﬁnancially. As
chairman of the company, his approach to
break away from traditional auctioneering,
where dealers were the main clients, and
move towards art retail effectively created
the modern auction house.
Under his watch, the company
developed a much larger private clientele,
with glossy catalogues, credit services and
vendor guarantees introduced. He also
oversaw the development of Sotheby’s
premises in New York’s York Avenue into
their grand saleroom and gallery space
that exists today.
In 1988, Sotheby’s went public and the
company’s shares were listed on the New
York Stock Exchange (the ﬁrm became
the oldest publicly traded company on the
NYSE). At this time, their auction totals
were running high and ahead of rivals
Christie’s, although insiders harboured
major concerns about the state of their
proﬁt margins.
Sotheby’s and Christie’s upped their
buyer’s premiums to 15% (charged on
the ﬁrst £30,000 of any purchase) within
weeks of each other in 1992, while in
1995 the two houses equalised their
rates for sellers of goods priced between
£60,000 and £3m.
In early 2000, news emerged of
investigations into alleged price-ﬁxing
and anti-competitive practices not just
in the US but also in the UK, Europe and
Australia. Taubman resigned as chairman
of Sotheby’s in February at the same time
as chief executive Diana ‘Dede’ Brooks
quit the company.
Brooks would later plead guilty to

price-ﬁxing in a Manhattan Federal Court
where she implicated Taubman, saying in
court: “At the direction of a superior, I had
a number of meetings and conversations
with a representative of Christie’s
International in which, among other
things, I agreed to ﬁx prices with respect
to the commissions charged to sellers.”
Despite strenuous denials, 77-year-old
Taubman was later convicted in a New
York court of criminal charges of collusion
and handed a ten-month prison sentence
as well as a $7.5m ﬁne.
Sotheby’s were ﬁned $45m, while
the civil suits ﬁled by clients ran on for
many years and are believed to have cost
hundreds of millions of dollars.
Taubman ﬁnally sold his controlling
interest in Sotheby’s in 2005.
For Taubman, owning the auction
house was always just one part of
his business empire. His pioneering
development of the modern shopping
malls helped him to build up a $2bn
fortune according to Forbes magazine,
while his real estate company, cinemas
and ownership of A&W root beer made
him one of the leading entrepreneurs in
the US.
He was known to collect Old Masters
and Impressionist paintings, some
of which were kept in his apartment
overlooking Central Park. He also had
homes in Palm Beach and London.
After winning the takeover battle for
Sotheby’s against the owners of General
Felt Industries, he was widely quoted as
saying: “Selling art has much in common
with selling root beer. People don’t need
root beer, and they don’t need to buy
a painting, either. We provide them a
sense that it will give them a happier
experience.”
While Taubman’s reputation was
dented by the price-ﬁxing scandal, he
will also be remembered in the US as a
philanthropist who donated hundreds of
millions of dollars to universities, hospitals
and museums.
